Not sure I'm following - it sounds like (originally) the issue is that the
fuzzer might produce inputs that cause the code under test to allocate a
lot of memory (either in one allocation, or several). So it seems to me
like it'd be helpful/good if the fuzzer/asan/something (if it's easy)
placed an artificial bound on total amount of memory that can be allocated
(having the malloc return 0 beyond that). Maybe that's not practical, I'm
not sure.
