Hi,
   there are multiple definitions of that variable, all

red::shared_ptr<RedChannelClient> hold_rcc(rcc);

that's just a construction of a shared pointer "holding" rcc. It makes sure
the object is not released till the scope of hold_rcc.
In some cases it's possible that there are no strong pointers to these
objects so we make sure to have one.
