It's a figure of speech, but I just sent the appropriate chapter and
verse from the Unix98 spec to linux-kernel:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/interfaces.html

Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly
stated otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow. If
an argument to a function has an invalid value (such as a
value outside the domain of the function, or a pointer outside
the address space of the program, or a null pointer), the
behaviour is undefined.
