With the details you posted, the best advice IMHO its to switch from using
the stack to dynamic memory allocation and when you need to chage the size
use the ANSI C function realloc.

This function has some subtle characteristics, so I advise you to grab a
good book on C which describes all its nuances Bill Plauger's "The Standard
C Library" book is a good one, and for an acid comment on this function, but
full of important info grab the Steve Maguire's "Writing Solid Code".
