1. when memcpy slaves the internals->active_slave_count 1
2. return internals->active_slave_count is 2
3. the slaves[1] would be a random invalid value

I guess this is slightly more correct. There is still a race here though.
After you make your copy of active_slave_count, the number of active
slaves could go to 0 and the memcpy() would copy an invalid element,
acitve_slaves[0]. There is no simple fix to this problem. Your patch
reduces the opportunity for a race but doesn't eliminate it.
What you are using this API for?
