I've seen this type of error occur most often in my early code, where I
would take a string from a database and put it in a label. If the label was
too short for the string (yes, I learned that lesson quick!), not only would
the buffer overrun, but it would do so silently. It would become visible
because the overwrite would in some manner damage the form elements
following the label in memory, causing them to be inaccessible, and
generating this error message.
