Uh,,, this is quite bad for me.. I thought that there was some sort of
locking mechanism (but being olsrd single-threaded now, it is
unnecessary).. to protect data structures in case of concurrent
accesses.. I'd like to be able to safely read the HNA information from
within the thread started by my plugin without touching the olsrd core
code..

BTW, thank you for your answer :)
