	var p *[1<<30]byte = nil;

	// The problem here is not the use of unsafe:
	// it is that indexing into p[] with a large
	// enough index jumps out of the unmapped section
	// at the beginning of memory and into valid memory.
	// Pointer offsets and array indices, if they are
	// very large, need to dereference the base pointer
	// to trigger a trap.
	println(p[uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&x))]);	// should crash
