If something's illegal, the results are usually 'undefined', and will depend
upon compiler and possibly platform.

If in doubt, try it out. I'm in a linux boot at the moment, and it produces
a segmentation fault. Under DOS this is likely to be a SIGSEGV.

I should let the compiler deal with freeing up local variable space - it
knows what it's doing :)
