i suspect the memory accessible by this bug depends a lot on the software, OS and possibly hardware, e.g. on openbsd and bitrig amd64, the amount of memory leaked per exploit is less than 64 KB, closer to 32 KB. if you go much past the 32 KB mark on these OSes, it segfaults.

running an exploit script against one of our own services showed only 1-2 KB of information, most if it being the (public) cert, and the rest zeroed out.
