i have tried to implement pua_rpc module in order to get rid of pua_mi
module.  unfortunately pua.publish crashes when it executes the callback
function.  i have not been able to figure out why.  rpc callback system
is heavily using void typed variables and parameters with casts, which
means that compiler cannot help in finding the bug.

my current code of the module is enclosed.  pua.publish causes this kind
of crash during callback execution:

what should i do with the code?  commit it to git in case someone would
later be able to figure out where the bug is or just through it to
waste bin?
