Sorry, I must have been asleep when I wrote that...

I was expecting the implementation to copy each table separately and
store them in a list (since this would allow easy dynamic removel of the
entries too), hence when I saw the assignment to a single global, I
assumed it was just over-writing it; I guess I didn't even look at the
realloc above or noticed that it was assigning "tmp" not just the caller-
supplied parameter:-(
