1) 0 is out of bounds in an array of length 0. You cannot access the first
element of a 0 length array, and [0] accesses the first element.

2) The big number is -1 as a size_t. Array indices are implicitly converted to
size_t.

3) Cascaded error messages are often not very helpful, but they aren't bugs in
the compiler.
