I think pretty much any non trivial C example has memory safety issues. It doesn't mean that they aren't useful and can't be used. But time and time again we have seen security reports that point to memory issues. So no, I don't think I'm asking for something obvious, quite the contrary. I think the claim that it's possible to write big C programs that are memory safe is really strong and I heavily disagree with it.
