I do not understand you here... Why do you want to store an access to a 
stream? And where (in memory or in disk)? To store it in memory you only 
have to create a variable of the Stream_Access type...

Can you give an example of what you mean?

PS: I would not worry about having to free the memory taken for the 
stream access as long as you close the socket.
