	Well, I tried this too, and this time when I ran a.out
I got 
	a.out: too big.

Before moving the array to global space, I got a memory fault.

This is an 11/780 running V.2 swapping, so maybe Sys 5 is better at
this sort of thing than it seems...

Guess you'd have to write a program with little arrays && run it lots of times.
