Bug description

Following program

let _ =
let b = Buffer.create 7000_000_000 in
for i = 1 to 2500_000_000 do
Buffer.add_string b "a"
done;
print_endline "before";
let _ = Buffer.contents b in
print_endline "after"

produces

before
Segmentation fault

on my machine (I have 13.5 GB of free memory, 16 GB total, 18 GB total with swap).

Steps to reproduce

Constants 7000_000_000 and 2500_000_000 depend on the size of memory and they must be sufficiently large otherwise the program doesn't crash.
