This is *way* too much.  If you compile such a program it will bomb, 
since automatic arrays cannot be larger than 256KB without changing the 
default stack size.  See section 15.9 of the DJGPP FAQ list, for more 
about this.

You should always try to compile your code before suggesting that others 
use it (or at least say it is untested).
