IsBadWritePtr is pretty much always the wrong thing to use, because
it's not thread safe. The right approach is to add an exception
handler directly in the function. Though in this case you could simply
check that the buffer address is not a small integer, it will catch
all instances of that bug (which is probably quite common...) without
the overhead of an exception handler.
