There's a "linux specific" optimisation that allows it to return
a non-NULL value in such cases however that's not normal.

int main (void)
{
  void *a;
 
  a = malloc (800*1024*1024);
  printf ("%p\n", a);
}

egger at sonja:~$ ./test
(nil)

int main (void)
{
  void *a;
 
  a = malloc (700*1024*1024);
  printf ("%p\n", a);
}

egger at sonja:~$ ./test
0x30027008

You're terminating because you're teasing the OOM logic, not because
you're allocating too much memory at once.

This also depends on the allocator.
