+ * to make the failure obvious, by segfaulting (if in the heap) or by
+ * killing the return address (on the stack), or by trapping under a
+ * memory debugger.
+ *
+ * This is meant to catch possible string overflows, even if the
+ * actual string copied is not big enough to cause an overflow.
+ *
+ * In addition, under Valgrind the buffer is marked as uninitialized.
