I'm curious. As a non-C programmer, is there ever a reason to *not* do bounds checking? (I mean outside of intensely performance critical applications like realtime control systems (which would probably be better in assembly anyway). I don't count an OS or a web browser as 'intensely performance critical'; they are, rather, 'intensely security and stability critical').
