Erk, that's my code! From here... The note at the top should make it pretty clear it's an added command.

The weird thing is that it seemed to do something instead of just error out - but you can see that everything's changed when he hits break, so it just looks like the video's been edited...

Hah! No, though for some reason the warm start flag mis-poke he was using rings a massive bell. It wasn't misreported in Dragon User some time, was it?

Nevertheless, without line 30 he seemed quite happy with his display of uninitialised memory!

Fun video! :D
