I wonder whether anyone is inclined to answer the original question.
No matter what the subject's knowledge of C programming, this seems
to be a bug in uport -- isn't that the POINT of using protected memory?
No program should be able to corrupt memory so it can corrupt the
system and cause it to crash.
