A Duma (dumy - plural) is a sung epic poem which originated in Ukraine during the Hetmanate Era around the sixteenth century, possibly based on earlier Kievan epic forms. Historically, dumy were performed by itinerant Cossack bards called kobzari, who accompanied themselves with a kobza or a torban, but after the abolition of Hetmanate by the Empress Katherine of Russia it became the domain of blind itinerant musicians who retained the kobzar apellation and accompanied their singing by playing a bandura (rarely a kobza) or a relya/lira (a Ukrainian variety of hurdy-gurdy). Dumas are sung in recitative, in the so-called "duma mode", a variety of Dorian mode with raised fourth degree.

Keywords:  malloc, gdb, overrun, impossible, bugs
DUMA stops your program on the exact instruction that overruns a malloc memory buffer. GDB will then display the source-code line that causes the bug. It works by using the virtual-memory hardware to create a red-zone at the border of each buffer: touch that, and your program stops. It can catch formerly impossible-to-catch overrun bugs.
