The queue is intended to avoid rereading guest pointers, but it assumes that the same pointer always has the same data, which isn't always true. For example, a program can compare a target string to a buffer, then change the contents of the buffer and compare again, and the queue will prevent targetcmp from tracking the second comparison.
