This is gross and never how the fill byte was meant to be used. I
agree, it's a possible interpretation but not what should be the
default. If you want this behavior you can easily dirty the entire ELF
file explicitly.
Agreed. My only point was that the corners of the API spec are not clear
here. I don't really have an opinion about what exactly it needs to be,
just that it needs to be unambiguous.
Thanks,
