Yes, it is a known problem. It ususally happens when you compile with
optimizations.

If you want to enlarged the stack of the C/C++ compiles, use stubedit. Find
the file called CC1.EXE for C or CC1PLUS.EXE for C++. Stubedit it and change
the stack size (it's not too uncommon to set it over a megabyte). If any
more than 4 megabytes doesn't seem to help, then you may have to break your
source code into several smaller files.
