No bugs, unless you count not verifying allocated memory to be nonzero...
(no, not, non, what?)  you know... like:

some_memory = allocate(123498612398)
if some_memory = 0 then
   puts(1, "error: out of memory!\n\n")
   puts(1, "erasing windoze to get more... please wait")
   junk = wait_key()
   abort(1)
end if

... etc

But hey, I don't check memory very often either (case in point: ModWave),
and sometimes, neither does Rob (allocate_string)

but then again you only use like 1024 + 4 + 4 bytes.  You'll usually
get it, no prob.  But then again, you never know.

It would appear that there are a few Christian Euphorians out there...

Divine Program Intervention

Between moments of dispensing wisdom, it seems that historical religious
leaders had also learned software programming. One day, a great contest
was held to test their skills. After days and days of fierce competition,
only two leaders remained for the last day's event: Jesus and Mohammed.
The judge described the software application required for the final test,
and gave the signal to start writing code. The two contestants feverishly
typed away on their keyboards. Routines, classes, applets and applications
flew by on their screens at incredible speeds. Windows, dialogs, and other
intricate graphics began forming on their monitors. The clock showed that
the contest would soon be finished.  Suddenly, a bolt of lightening
flashed and the power went out. After a moment it came back on - just in
time for the clock to announce that the last competition was over. The
judge asked the two contestants to reveal their finished software.
Mohammed angrily said that he'd lost it all in the power outage. The judge
turned to the other competitor. Jesus smiled, clicked a mouse and a
dazzling application appeared on his screen.
After just a few moments, the judge was clearly impressed and declared
Jesus the victor. When asked why the decision was made, the judge pointed
out the unique characteristic that set the winner apart from all the other
leaders:
Jesus saves.
