The files of interest are in:

/usr/share/Performer/src/lib/libpfdb/libpfpfb/

This is in the subsystem performer_dev.src.loader...

The .pfb storing function just gets the size and saves that much data... The
brief solution is to change the data stored in pfUserData to not include
pointers.

In other words pack in all the things pointed to (in your case a pfNode and a
pfList of ...) and unpack them as desired.

The other solution is to take a look at the pfdUserData_pfb function... This
allows you to give your own descend function, store function, and/or load
function... Take a look at pfpfb.c and code away. :)
