Description
@ahrens had trouble understanding this sentence in humility map, but I wasn't sure how to fix it, perhaps due to my unfamiliarity with embedded systems:
This can happen, for example, because the task attempted to access device memory that was not allocated to it in the build description, because it exceeded the device memory allocated to it, or because it allocated the memory allocated to it, e.g., because of a stack overflow.
Specifically, "because it allocated the memory allocated to it" doesn't sound like a problem. Should this be something like, "because it allocated past the memory allocated to it"?
