Test case 7

Description

A buffer overflow condition exists when a program attempts to put more data in
a buffer than it can hold or when a program attempts to put data in a memory
area past a buffer. In this case, a buffer is a sequential section of memory allocated
to contain anything from a character string to an array of integers. (from TCCLASP-5_2_1_10)
