Hi Richard,

Thanks for your analysis. 

This patch is intended to mitigate use-after-free bugs. In that context a 
“define strict behavior for invalid pointer values” we could deploy in 
production code would be very useful. Maybe calling this a sanitizer is 
misleading, and instead it could be presented as “change implementation defined 
behavior to be less convenient but more security friendly."

Matt
