you'd have to update more than that, there are scads of pointers for the
vat.
probably the best thing to do would be to delete the var and recreate it.
 if it was the last var created it will already be at the end of memory
so nothing will overwrite it when it's deleted.  you'd have to make sure
to clear the temp vars first, though
