I'll start by saying that I like this idea... it'll give me a chance to brush up on my skills in this area.

Now, the only error I see in this program is that the for() loop checks for i <= SIZE rather than i < SIZE. However, this doesn't seem to affect much... when I run the compiled program on my OS X machine with these args:

./vuln `perl -e 'print "a" x 2000'` `perl -e 'print "b" x 2000'`

It exits cleanly. I imagine that it might overwrite a byte somewhere, but it's not really doing much for me.

Thanks, and great idea,

Do you need help?
