You believe right.  The program could be revised to lose the 
variables and not put so much of a workload on the stack :)


#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  printf("Size of integer: %d\n", sizeof(int);
  printf("Size of char: %d\n", sizeof(char);
  printf("Size of float: %d\n", sizeof(float);
  return (0);
}
