+ * This class is designed to cause crashes when various kinds of memory

+ * suspect out-of-bounds writes to some members. We can insert a member of type
+ * Poison near the members we suspect are being corrupted by out-of-bounds
+ * writes. Or perhaps we have a class K we suspect is subject to use-after-free
+ * violations, in which case it doesn't particularly matter where in the class
+ * we add the member of type Poison.
+ *
+ * In either case, we then insert calls to Check() throughout the code. Doing
+ * so enables us to narrow down the location where the corruption is occurring.
+ * A pleasant side-effect of these additional Check() calls is that crash
+ * signatures may become more regular, as crashes will ideally occur
+ * consolidated at the point of a Check(), rather than scattered about at
+ * various uses of the corrupted memory.
