Nothing wrong with the name, but I would have made the side-effects of dereferencing a NULL return value much more spectacular.

That's only relevant to protected-memory O/Ses (most of them, these days, I'll grant). Running on good old DOS, you could easily read (and sometimes write) to NULL, while your program went off into hyperspace.
If every NULL reference cost the perpetrator money out of pocket (e.g. if the computer literally crashed and burned), I'm sure that software quality would have been much higher.

Back in the day my product ran under the DOS4GW extender (just like DOOM!). In that environment I had both real-mode and protected-mode code for things like interrupt services in order to reduce unnecessary mode switches. Dereferencing NULL meant different things happened depending on which mode you were in. My hindsight has cataracts, so good times.
