Your code wouldn't have worked even if the Examine() functions
did allocate the memory "automatically", as you're only passing a
pointer to the ExamineFH() function. You would need to pass the
address of the pointer to the FileInfoBlock. Thus,
struct FileInfoBlock * fibb;
ExamineFH (&fibb);
ExamineFH() would also need to be prototyped as following,
BOOL ExamineFH (BPTR, struct FileInfoBlock **);
Anyway, this is a moot point as we've established that
ExamineFH() just doesn't work like this, but it's a handy tip if
you ever need to allocate memory in a child function.
