Quick digression about canaries:
Canaries are a security feature aimed at killing the application if a
buffer becomes overrun for whatever reason, not a debugging tool. That
is they don't actually prevent a buffer overrun, they just alert
whomever is listening that something bad has happened (the usual
response is to kill the app.)
