So I think you meant to report this against versions 3.16.43-2+deb8u1
and 4.9.30-2+deb9u1, not 4.9.30-2.  Is that right?

Does this go away if you add the kernel parameter "stack_guard_gap=1"?
(That should effectively revert the fix for CVE-2017-1000364.)

Has the stack limit for these applications been changed from the
default (e.g. "ulimit -s unlimited" in a startup script)?
