Tav is interested in using this on app engine, which doesn't care about segfaults -- the process is simply restarted, nobody gains access to information they shouldn't have. App engine does care about overwriting memory,
That doesn't make sense -- how can something not care about segfaults, but care about memory overwriting? If something is capable of causing a segfault, you can't be sure it won't just corrupt memory in some way that doesn't segfault but causes some other problem.
