Sure.. but this isn't going to have the end result of not crashing. We
ran out of allocations so we will very quickly be dereferencing NULL.
Care has been taken to avoid this from happening, so I'm fine with
either as this comes up in testing only. In fact, I probably added this
during the testing and it slipped through. Thanks for finding it.
