But only for programs that can have a detached bs segment, i.e. one that can be placed on the boundary of a page, not directly after the data segment. And even then you don't know how much of this bss is used for the stack and how much for static variables, so it's hard to tell when the stack has actually grown too much (or better: When it has grown so much that a memory violation is triggered, a lot of local variables have already been overwritten, and thus it's unlikely the process hadn't crashed before).
