mallocForeignPtr vs. C

[John Meacham]

Hi, is a StablePtr what you are after? 

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.2/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.1/Foreign-StablePtr.html

you can pass a stableptr to the foreignptr to C and it won't be freed
until you explicitly get rid of the stableptr (and all haskell
references are gone)
