The heap stuff is new I guess, we didn't have that back when I was writing programs in it. So, yea, not so safe anymore. :D I take back what I said about it being safer then. I can't go back and edit my original post, it's been too long.
The compiler did normally warn for data bounds checking, so I figured it would in this case. If that's not the case anymore then I'm wrong.
