     * (based on TNodeId class layout a bit), so the code must be viligent. 
     * _Node and _Peer perform arbitral happy conversion, so there can be 3 reasons why _Node()->Ptr() is NULL:
     * (1) iBuf stores a 4 byte ptr to RNodeInterface and what Ptr normally returns is beyond these 4 bytes in a land hopefully zeroed by ::Close
     * (2) iBuf stores nothing. 
     * (3) iBuf stores a TNodeId pointing a NULL node (effectivelly TNodeId::NullId()). (3) is only theoretical as Open(TNodeId) prevens Ptr be NULL
     * Therefore it is safe to assume that if Ptr() is NULL, it is either a valid pointer to a peer or NULL.
