A segmentation fault may not happen (which is to say, we may corrupt memory or worse) if the null pointer is mapped into memory (as in an embedded or kernel context) or if it's accessed at a large offset, which results in a pointer that's mapped into memory. This may be rotten luck or it may be exploited by an attacker.

Fair enough, I don't know Delphi. I'll take what you're saying about it as read.
