gollark: If you just create, say, a 32kB array for some input, but it's possible to send more than that and you don't check very carefully everywhere (because C string manipulation functions are horrible and so are C strings), then BUFFER OVERFLOW!
gollark: It does it in not wildly unsafe ways.
gollark: Virtual memory.
gollark: Haskell actually just preallocates a 1TB block of memory.
