Since C2 doesnt require verifying the code (which is nearly impossible
anyway), C2 only covers how it 'should' ork, not how it 'does' work. This
means buffer overruns, shell escape and all that stuff introduced by bugs
will not be covered from C2 Certification.

I thin B recommendation are slightly more detailed in verifying
implementations, right?
