FWIW Luke Mewburn has added basic argument checking to the NetBSD libc
code, not bounds checking but still helpful.  I believe this work has
been put into NetBSD-current as an optional feature due to the fact
that the argument checking _can_ have a significant negative effect on
the library call performance.
