bug: pointer arithmetic involving large offsets

needs to dereference the base pointer to make
sure it catches nil.

package main

func main() {
var p *[1<<30]byte = nil;
x = 123;
// The problem here is not the use of unsafe:
// it is that indexing into p[] with a large
// enough index jumps out of the unmapped section
// at the beginning of memory and into valid memory.
// Pointer offsets and array indices, if they are
// very large, need to dereference the base pointer
// to trigger a trap.
println(p[uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&x))]);
