I don't want to enter a debate over this, since clearly not everyone has the same concerns/priorities. However, I regard string handling memory leakage to be more serious than lack of range checking - but that's just my opinion, FWIW. (Which is not to say that range checking isn't also important, of course.)
Side note, it's no actual memory leak, it's just temporary space (on the stack) not released early enough (i.e., not until the end of the containing routine).
Incidentally, I also consider this rather important, but I'm not sure yet how difficult it will be to solve it.
