In theory, that's an application flaw, rather than a
bug in the compiler or libraries. In practice, good
software engineering produces C/C++ programs that
very rarely dereference bad pointers. It's harder
and more work than development with Python.

Keep in mind that Python *is* a C program. When I
ask how robust is Python, I am asking how robust is
a particular C program, pointers and all.
