If you want to sleep better at night, try copying
safe.e from euphoria\include (v2.0) into your program's
directory. Then rename safe.e as machine.e in that
directory. Then run your game for a while.
It will run a bit slower, but all peeks/pokes/mem_copy's
etc. will be checked.

safe.e works. I sometimes use it to check contributions
to the Web page. It will catch nasty errors that otherwise
go unnoticed or that cause an occasional "mysterious" crash.
