Are those arrays global or automatic?

Your original post said that this is a multi-threaded program.  If you're
using the same global array in multiple threads, and don't have a mutex to
mediate access to it, you can have problems.

Another thing is that some architectures have a limit on the size of a
stack frame, so you can't have huge automatic arrays.  But I would expect
the compiler to complain if you were exceeding the limits.

Can you post a simple, complete example program (with main() and
everything) that has this problem?
