It may be fun to point out that the complier could technically launch a game of Tetris or rm -rf /, but is that what any mainstream compiler does? I guess the behavior could be inconsistent, but who'd design a compiler like that? Seems like it'll roll over or it won't (ie. stay stuck at INT_MAX). Good unit tests would catch this if you changed compiler, but really you should handle it explicitly (look before you leap).
