  Heh.


matrix_mult_r.cc:5:19: Timer.h: No such file or directory
matrix_mult_r.cc: In function `int main()':
matrix_mult_r.cc:20: error: `Timer' undeclared (first use this function)

  Ah, yes.  I had a bit of a problem with that particular stage of the
proceedings as well....

  However, it's straightforward enough.  The default thread stack is 1Mb (or
is it 2, I can't remember off the top of my head).  Once your stack-based auto
vars exceed the size of the stack, it go BOOOOOM!

  Your problem can be fixed /either/ by making them of static storage duration
(move them out of the function body OR add the 'static' qualifier depending on
scoping considerations), or by using the -Wl,--stack flag.  Correctly.  You
told ld to provide an 8kB stack.  Try 80 meg instead, it works a lot beter!

    cheers,
      DaveK
