Honestly, I'm not overly familiar with stack page allocation, at least not so
far as compound vs. single page allocation is concerned.  I suppose the question
your really asking here is: Have you found a case in which the syscall fuzzer
has forced the allocation of an insecure non-compound page on the stack, or is
this a false positive warning.  I can't provide the answer to that.
