stack overflow is something different, I guess we want to say "stack
buffer overflow".
I typically write something like "heap-, stack-, and global- buffer
overflow as well as use-after-free bugs".

I also suggest adding "use -O1 or higher for better performance"
because otherwise "fast memory error detector" is not really true.
