use of static to get the value of info

Why having
static Nan::Utf8String *host_cstr = new Nan::Utf8String(info[0]);
Instead of
Nan::Utf8String host_cstr(info[0]);

Thank you

As far as I can tell from looking at the code, these Utf8Strings are never deleted and will therefore leak. The above suggestion ought to work, as should this:

uint32_t ipnum = _GeoIP_lookupaddress(*Nan::Utf8String(info[0]));

Actually, it used to be that way, but was changed in b2efc95. If there actually was a segmentation fault somewhere, it means that libgeoip does something wrong or strange with strings passed in. Does it try to free them or does it store the pointer for future use?
