 Apparently, yes.

 That seems highly unlikely to me. There must be another unrelated issue in
 UVMHIST, or whatever.
 
 The real bug might be hiding in the way hints work. The code I posted in this
 report generates orig_hint=0, so obviously there is no way for 'hint' to be
 below zero, and the allocation should theoretically fail.
 
 This 'theoretically' is necessarily wrong, since most of the vm space could be
 available - meaning the allocation should succeed.
