The context of this thread is adding syscall to the kernel to allow C userland programs to be safer.

Even if the kernel were written in Java - which is, again, absurd to ask of the OpenBSD developers - it would still be a viable syscall to add for user mode programs written in memory unsafe languages.

Only way to make C "safer", is to follow Solaris footsteps, hardware memory tagging.
