If by rule there can be no walk during a dribble, then is a carry (palming, etc) a double dribble? The rule says that a dribble ends when it is in the palm of the hand, which is what made me think the next dribble violated the double dribble.
If the player takes a step when palming the ball - it is a travel. If they don't and simply stop and then restart their dribble - it is a double dribble.

woops - should have read the other answers before posting this. BTW the carry mechanic has been removed from FIBA (in case you care)
