yes, you can get errors with malloc when you have overcommit enabled.
however the normal type of OOM problem you have when overcommit is turned on doesn't happen when you do a malloc, but instead when you attempt to write to a page that was shared and now cannot be (requiring additional memory pages)

Yes. ulimit is one way to get allocation errors even with overcommit enabled.
