If the test description is longer than the status alignment the parameter 'n' to putcharn() would lead to a signed underflow that then gets converted to a very large unsigned value. This in turn leads out-of-bound writes in memset() crashing the application.
The failure case of EXPECT_PTRER() used in "mmap_bad" exhibits this exact behavior.
