Hi Pascal, you wrote:

: #define ARRAY_SIZE 2038010
: 
: int
: main (void)
: {
:   char A [ARRAY_SIZE];
: }

: (bug.exe 1000) exception is: STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW

The problem is not b16, but that automatic arrays are allocated on the stack.
If you make it static or use malloc/calloc, it should work.

I don't know how to increase the stack limit under Win*, but I do know
that on several unix systems the maximum stack limit is much smaller than
what you can alloc!
