RE: Memory management - I will be communicating with this 'daemon process' 1 or more times per day for the next several years. Its imperative that whatever session management scheme I can find / create / begborrowsteal be rigourous about keeping each session and its associated variables 'tidy'. IE delete every allocation, handle or otherwise.

Each time I start a 'session' I need to know that it has cleaned up the previous one. I can't count on the server hardware at each installation (there will be 3-500 separate machines at disparate, remote locations) being able to reboot if a process gobbles up the memory.

On a very simple level I need to know that if I authenticate a given session that someone else can't reuse my session 'handle' - that each new session has its own security separate from the others. As I said in my other reply I will be using this solution to transport HIPAA protected information. Security has to be strong from the outset.
