Not random junk, but all 1s:
int recurse(int depth)
{
char buffer[2048];
memset(buffer, 1, sizeof(buffer));
/* Call recursively */
printf("%d\n",depth);
recurse(depth + 1);
}
main()
{
recurse(0);
}
Perhaps I need to go up a bit on the stack to trigger the
collision (i.e. go down two levels, then up one, etc.) ?!
