The punishment that is given is that the program mysteriously fails
when input strings are exactly n characters long. The punishment
is placed on the person foolish enough to continue to use code that
he has many times in the past labeled as 'CRAP'. 

I just wish that the party forcing you at gun-point to use this code
would also force you to keep your fingers off the flame key.
