    And let there be light... DANG.. well it almost blinded me. I was confusing
    with char[16], which has the +1 byte for the null terminating, but the
    malloc(16) hasn't...

    Probably doesn't crash on Linux because the malloced space is not adjacent.

    Thanks for the candle.

    Appologises to everyone.
