I beleive the VM handles this.  Java does not have malloc() and friends
available, and all arrays are static (that is, they can't be dynamically
resized).  Any attempt to access beyond the boundaries of an array do
not crash the application, they "throw an exception".  You aren't going
to write anything to the stack, or alter the memory space of anything
but the array.

It's kind of a nice feature  :)
