Given the extreme obsolescence of the argument to `time`, I would recommend that the *kernel* be changed to fire an actual SIGSEGV instead of returning -EFAULT from the syscall version of `time`, and then that can be the documented behavior, with the historic behavior relegated to the BUGS section of the manpage.meh. it would be out of character for the kernel to do this.
