I had the same problem using Megamax C on the ST.  It is really a simple
problem, turns out:  You're trying to put too much stuff (big arrays) in
automatic variables (local to main()?), and you overflow the stack (which
is where those are stored.)  Solution: either increase the stack space
alloted in the program startup (see your compiler's instructions), or
put your arrays in global or static variables, or in malloc()ed space.
