Yeah, I agree. This is similar to complaining that the plane was broken when you fly it into a mountain. I can see this being a minor issue when you're passing data to like strdup(2) from an unknown source, but you should be following the rule of "users do dumb shit." and check these things. C isn't designed to prevent you from hanging yourself because if it were to prevent you you wouldn't have enough rope to climb a mountain.
