I do *sigh*.

I've added a line to the build matrix to build with -O2 and various env
variables which enabled extra checks in Malloc. Hopefully one of those 
things will catch this sort of stupidity in future.

The compiler can't catch these issues as were taking the pointer or an
offset assigning it to a void* and then writing to it as the config is
parsed. None of the normal type checking works.
