running off the end of the linked list in case there is an error in some
other part of the code that has corrupted the linked list.

<p>
An ALWAYS(X) or NEVER(X) sometimes verifies pre-conditions that are
subject to change if other parts of the code are modified in
subtle ways.  At [https://sqlite.org/src/artifact/18a53540aa3?ln=5512-5516]
we have a case test for two pre-conditions that are true only because
of the limited scope of use of the sqlite3BtreeRowCountEst() function.
Future enhancements to SQLite might use sqlite3BtreeRowCountEst() in
new ways where those preconditions no longer hold, and the NEVER()
macros will quickly alert the developers to that fact when the
situation arises.  But if, for some reason, the pre-conditions are
not satisfied in a release build, the program will still behave sanely
and will not do an undefined memory access.

This document is still sometimes used as a "Code of Conduct" on supplier
registration forms.  But it is not a Code of Conduct in the same sense
that many communities mean a Code of Conduct.  Rather,
this document describes the ethical principals upon
which SQLite is based.  Another way to look at this document is
as a succinct description of the SQLite Founder's idea of what it
means to be "virtuous".

Readers can also interpret this document as a primer on the
world-view of the SQLite Founder, to help them better understand

localtime_r() C function normally only works for years
between 1970 and 2037. For dates outside this range, SQLite 
attempts to map the year into an equivalent year within 
this range, do the calculation, then map the year back.)^</p>

and 9999-12-31 23:59:59 (julidan day numbers 1721059.5 through 5373484.5).)^
For dates outside that range, the results of these
functions are undefined.</p>

Vista only supports two. Therefore, on these platforms, 
historical DST calculations will be incorrect. 
For example, in the US, in 2007 the DST rules changed.

<h1>SQLite Always Validates Its Inputs</h1>

<p>
SQLite should never crash, overflow a buffer, leak memory,
or exhibit any other harmful behavior, even with presented with
maliciously malformed SQL inputs or database files.  SQLite should
always detect erroneous inputs and raise an error, not crash or
corrupt memory.
Any malfunction caused by an SQL input or database file
is considered a serious bug and will be promptly addressed when
brought to the attention of the SQLite developers.  SQLite is
extensively fuzz-tested to help ensure that it is resistant
