Ken, believe me, you don't know what taxes are until you lived in Quebec
(and to a lesser extent, Ontario and anywhere else in Canada, for that
matter)...

On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted. See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory smash, overrun screw, core.
