Yes. However, note that as with any "undefined behavior" you will not
necessarily see any problem while testing. There are many factors at play
here including buffer sizes, how exactly they are passed between different
layers of system etc. It is a good example of "logically bad" thing to do.
It may work but nobody can really guarantee that it will not break in the
next service pack or even on a different machine.
