Based on this description, I suspect that the stack size is not the
only problem.  You might be hitting some problem with excess memory
requirements (on the heap) as well.  GCC was reported to have nasty
problems in some rare cases, when Windows allocates memory
non-contiguously.

Can you try to compile this on plain DOS with CWSDPMI?
