• walk off the end of: vt. To run past the end of an array, list, or medium after stepping through it --- a good way to land in trouble.
  Often the result of an {off-by-one error}. Compare {clobber}, {roach}, {smash the stack}....

• mash the stack: [C programming] n. To corrupt the execution stack by writing past the end of a local array or other data structure.
  Code that smashes the stack can cause a return from the routine to jump to a random address, resulting in some of the most insidious data-dependent bugs known to mankind....
