[gnu.gcc] gcc segmentation error on startup

phd_ivo@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (07/20/90)

*******************************************************************

Here is an interesting error from my gnu cc. Compiling the following program
results in a segmentation error right on startup. Eliminating the #define
statement by hand-substitution eliminates the error.

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX_MC 100000

 /****************************************************************/
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  float properrejectwhite1[MAX_MC], properrejectwhite2[MAX_MC];

  fprintf(stderr, "program works!\n"); fflush(stderr);
  return 0;
}
