The language may limit the static size of object. That's what Java

I've meant to do that in D, but haven't gotten around to it.
On 32-bit OS X, that limit is 4 KB.
And what happens if I dereference a null pointer to a static array of
65k elements and I try to read the last one?
Disallowing objects longer than 64 KB can help, but it's not a complete
solution.
It is - it all depends on choosing the right limit for all OSs.
