That's correct.  I consider an implementation using a variable more
resilient than relying on the user not to kill the buffer (which isn't
as unlikely as you'd think, given newbie questions of how to make Emacs
open less buffers).  Resetting does already have a command,
`profiler-reset`.  I've adjusted it in my patch to set the variables to
`nil` so that it will behave correctly in accordance with the other
changes.
