    Well, I can't seem to recreate it, so it was probably my imagination, but I
did notice that static array values are loaded from the executable, which makes
this program over 40Megs as an executable:

------------------
#include <stdio.h>
int a[10000000];

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 printf("size = %d", sizeof(a));
 return 0;
}
---------------------
