Stupid idea: have you checked that maybe when it calls you back for that
"I just modified something", the address is actually still in one of the
registers or a known stack location where you can "peek" at it ? :) That
would solve your problem once for all ... Unless that app gets rebuilt
regulary, but in this case, you should really get them to fix the API to
the callback to take the address.
