 The C program you posted would generate a long executable on C version 3.00
- it allocates large areas of globals (remember int's are 4 bytes!) which 
on v3.00 are allocated at compile /link time, whereas the latest C (not sure
if it's available to non-developers yet, 3.1B) allocates such things at
runtime.
