It works for me (ie fails with an appropriate error) locally
on Linux FC6 x86-64. Perhaps this platform initializes
memory to zero on allocation? I dunno. Anyway, if you can
reproduce it, please have a go, I'm at work and won't be
able to do anything more in depth for some time.

I could have sworn that I had some bounds checking in there
at one point, but it doesn't seem to be in the latest
version of the code. *shrug*. It should be both in
cstring_enum() in enum.c and in DefineEnum() in typecmds.c.

Cheers

Sounds more like you're testing without asserts enabled; tut tut.
