I found this too when I was testing on NT. I put some #ifndef WIN32 #endif around it, since I'm not sure how it bhaves on Unix. For sure, the NT memory manager was not to happy with it.

Personally, I doon't believe its very nice, since connections is a pointer to an array of Connections, not a pointer to an array of pointers to Connections. 

I guess the latter may have been intended at some stage.
