Are you sure this is a compiler bug? Or is it undefined behaviour?

A secure program has to be robust: it  must  be  able  to  deal  with
conditions  that "can't happen", whether user input, program error or
library/etc. This is basic damage  control.  Buffer  overflow  errors
have nothing to do with security, but everything with stupidity.
