[ [0:0], to be precise. ]
duh.
s/sizeof(char)/8/
sorry.
I might still have got the math wrong, but the idea is that ..., well
never mind, Dirk already explained my point much more coherently than
I ever could. (happens to me all the time. I should take a coherence
writing course or something. coherent thinking would not be bad
either).
[ I know char doesn't have to be 8 bits, but I hope you get the idea. ]

Look, would it save you all this bother if I just gave up and went mad now?
