|One drawback to using a high-level language is that it puts another
|level of complex software between your algorithm and your binary.
|Witness the problems with Lightspeed C executing code off the stack,

|fairly sure of what I'm getting.

Don't blame a bad implementation on the language. And I have encountered
buggy assemblers too.
