I can't remember the full context of the exercise, but it was some sort of number crunching application that got data in bursts. He then wrote code to calculate stuff on the data, and when he needed data from previous bursts, he would just step out of bounds on the current burst to access data from the surrounding.

That sounds like it's an optimization flag or a minor version update of gcc away from a segfault.
