> So it's still a mystery why sometimes the test doesn't fail. Perhaps
the memory below the stack is allocated to another thread, and as Greg
suggests we might get away with it because we're not writing to a part of
the stack that the other thread is using.
That would explain why the tests pass consistently in my testsuite but
fail when I run them from the shell. Should we open a new ticket for the
testsuite script with the goal of being able to better detect bad memory
accesses?
