Scanning the stack and playing with the lowest 3 bits of pointers come
to mind.  These are UB, and in C as soon as one UB is encountered during
execution, everything else from now on is potentially UB (more
specifically, the C standard allows the interpretation that a UB
operation does literally anything, including never terminating and
behaving eerily like your program).
