Hi Kees, Jiri and Luiz,
First of all, thanks for the reviews.

Ok, no problem. Also, I will simplify the "bacpy" lines with direct
assignments as Kees suggested:

   di[n].src = dev->src;
   di[n].dst = dev->dst;

instead of:

   bacpy(&di[n].src, &dev->src);
   bacpy(&di[n].dst, &dev->dst);

Regards,
Erick
