We can repeat this subthread with examples of UAF bugs, which are equally common, if anyone really wants to get the full flavor of how wrong it is to suggest that C is comparably as safe as Haskell.
My post wasn't meant as disagreement on the issue of whether some languages are safer than others.
I apologize if this is is how the message was received. I was trying to point out that w.r.t. C strings, using strncpy is almost always the wrong thing to do.
