simple test of integer overflow: 123! => 
12146304367025329675766243241881295855454217088483382315328918161829235892362167668831156960612640202170735835221294047782591091570411651472186029519906261646730733907419814952960000000000000000000000000000

string buffer overruns, and array index out of range, needs buffers and
