My program has serval huge arrays (i.e., 500x500) and I got trap when
compiling this file.  By the way, I did not set any of the optimaization
flags. 

Then I broke the file into smaller files each contained one array 
but I still could not get rid of it.

Moreover, sometimes the compilation got exeception 13, 14 or 6....  

I executed cc1 using debug32 and I found the trap was caused by: 

		movzx 	????,[eax]	whereis eax=0xffffffff

Well, that's all I tell now..

Best regards,
Eric
