Only if /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory contains the value 1. Otherwise,
it may succeed, even when there isn't memory available. If that's the
case, you'll get an error when you actually try and use the memory, not
when it's allocated in the first place. I'm not sure how that would tie
in with resource limits specified with ulimit...
