+## Fix compiler crash
+
+Previously the following code would cause the compiler to crash. Now it will display a helpful error message:
+
+```pony
+struct FFIBytes
+  var ptr: Pointer[U8 val] = Pointer[U8].create()
+  var length: USize = 0
+
+  fun iso string(): String val =>
+    recover String.from_cpointer(consume FFIBytes.ptr, consume FFIBytes.length) end
+
+actor Main
+  new create(env: Env) =>
+    env.out.print("nothing to see here")
+```
