Well, local variables definately caused the crash (I have several large
arrays). To verify that my local variables were the problem, I made them
much smaller and the program ran fine with a stack size of 4000. I used
the +m (interesting that my Aztec-C manual doesn't mention this option!)
option when I compiled my program but when I ran it, it crashed like it
normally did, so apparently the option doesn't work.
