software due to that. I never even noticed how wrong some of these
functions were until that error came up -- sure they worked, but they
weren't "correct" by any stretch of the imagination.
But wouldn't you agree that it was initially a documentation fault for
not adequately identifying what was *correct* and *incorrect* usage?
And was it not a language fault for not trapping some of this
*incorrect* usage much earlier instead of letting it carry on and cause
memory corruptions?
