That's not what I said. Look again:

There is a comma after the "crashes".
I didn't say that it "probably crashes". I said that it will
crash, and then probably will produce an error message.
The idea is that an application that has a memory hole and uses a lot of
memory doesn't crash, but by running with an "ulimit" it will crash when
it hits the limit, ant then the error, coredump, or backtrace can be
examined.
