Tav is interested in using this on app engine, which doesn't care

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.
