Are these local variables in a function?
If so, you are smashing the stack: you start by allocating 102000 bytes,
then you allocate another 102000, and the stack ends at about 200K. You
need to allocate this stuff on the heap...use malloc, and free it at the
end of the function, or make them static variables, or if you're using C++
use new and delete.
