This is true C we're talk ing about, ladies and gentlemen, not some emulation/simulation: you get the whole works, pointers and all, so it is in fact quite possible to lo ck up the machine for good with a bad pointer assignment, for instance.

It can even handle fairly obfuscate d C code, such as the following single-line monstrosity computing the va lue of Pi to an arbitrary number of digits: long a=10000,b,c,d,e,*f,g;
