Yes. 100 million bytes is 1/40 of all addressable space on 32-bits. 
There only needs to be one 4-byte segment somewhere on the stack that 
points at this, and it won't be collected.

Assuming you have a quite large segment that can't be extended or 
collected (due to false pointer), this means you have to allocate 
another large one to satisfy the next allocation (which then could be 
pinned). And it gets worse from there.
