It still protects writing to memory outside that buffer, right?

"Protecting memory" doesn't mean "no page fault," though, just that it
won't scribble all over some other process's memory. But I am curious
how universally various freenix distributions these days just let the
application segfault vs. using that as a cue to allocate additional
stack space; a quick test with WSL (Debian somethingorother) runs that
test without complaint, but I don't have a genuine *nix box to hand to
try it with.
