Is this really the case? I'm pretty sure I've _never_ ignored the
possibility of a NULL return from malloc, and I've been using it
for nearly 20 years. I usually print a message and exit, but I
never ignore it. I thought that was pretty standard practise.
This is just a random comment, orthogonal to the overcommit issue,
but I've seen both you and Matthew say this now, and I was surprised
both times.
