But from your own code:

[40 x i8]* is a pointer to an array. LoadValueFromMemory doesn't seem
to support loading an array type directly, so you either have to load
all bytes individually or use "(char *) Ptr->PointerVal". At least it
looks like that second one ought to work from the implementation of
LoadValueFromMemory.

Cheers.
