sprintf causes seg fault, when the buffer is defined on the stack

[lilith218]

Not only sprintf causes seg fault, the following as well

int
main(void)
{
    char buff[10] = {0};
    printf("%s", buff);
    return 0;
}

If I don't declare the array on the stack, the program does not crash. It seems to be related to putting arrays on the stack somehow!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>

char buff[10] = {0}; // no crash

int
main(void)
{
    printf("%s", buff);
    int x = 10;
    sprintf(buff, "%d", x);
    x = atoi(buff);
    return 0;
}

Closing, as this is identical to #10.
