That one I don't know since it doesn't cause any message or crash without gdb. 
I didn't try to run the previous version in a debugger so I don't know if it 
did the same thing. Well, in fact I know since I kept the old binary around. 
It does the same thing and I just need to type c in gdb to ignore it.

Actually, 256 wasn't enouth either so I had to use 1024. I guess I simply 
forgot to add the -DNDEBUG flag to the make script anyway. I should probably 
add that and be done with it.
