Regardless of whether you free prior results, subsequent queries
still give a new result id. I suppose it would be possible to check
to see if the last result was free'd and then use that result_id, but
that seems pretty cumbersome when you can just increment the counter
for each query regardless.

True, at least this seems to work for me. ;-)

To me, boxing is like ballet, except there's no dancing, no choreography
and the dancers hit eachother.
