Description
- Go to the end of a section.
- Create a new array data variable that would obviously exceed the section end.
- Observe chaos.
This works with arrays as well integer types, etc. Presumably it also works with structures.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing variable creation at the end of a section, then trace how section and segment bounds are checked for arrays and integer types; consider structures as another case. Done means variables that exceed their section or segment bounds are prevented or handled safely without causing chaos.
