Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt the silence schedule to bring you shocking news. Hatred has reared its ugly head on the forsaken grounds of our dear old friend — Windows 98. It appears the bigots have set a new target for their cynical and non-politically-correct persecution. Big-boned dialogs and initialization-limited rectangulars are shamelessly discriminated against and abused for no acceptable reason. Exceptions, overflow errors, division errors and antique dialogs were thrown at the victims, reports say. We were unable to get comments from the alleged bigots.

We were unable to get pictures from the event, but luckily, it can be easily reproduced.

BOOL CALLBACK proc(HWND h, UINT m, WPARAM w, LPARAM l)
{
  return FALSE;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  char dt[24] = {0,};
  RECT r = {32757,};
  HWND dlg = CreateDialogIndirect(
    GetModuleHandle(NULL),
    (LPDLGTEMPLATE) dt,
    0,
    proc);
  MapDialogRect(dlg, &r); // BOOM!
  return 0;
}
