It's just the opposite actually. A good library (which the MS ones
certainly aren't...) should crash on bad pointers, so that bugs can be
found and fixed. Hiding bugs and trying to stumble along is the MS
way, this is what leads to idiocy like having an exception handler in
lstrlen(). So if in this case Windows doesn't have a check we
certainly don't want one either.
