Not quite.  Variables are only statically allocated if the are 
declared globally or with the static keyword.  You are doing neither,
which means it will be automatically allocated from the stack.

So it stack faults.  DJGPP uses a fixed size stack.  You are overrunning
it.  You can use stubedit on your executable to increase the stack size
or just use the malloc method.
