gcc 3.3.1-3 runtime error: static data storage size

[Pietro Brandani <pbrandani at ucdavis dot edu>]

I have the following example to propose:
/** aa.c **/
#define NXY 5000
#define NXY 7000
int xy[NXY][NXY];
main(){
printf("ok\n");
}

This will work when NXY=5000, but will generate a SIGSEV exception before 
reaching the first statement when NXY=7000.

The array in the faulty case is 187MB. The gcc documentation gives 2GB as 
the limit for having to switch to dynamic allocation. Any fixes? or 
relevant compiler options possibly available?

Thanks.

Pietro Brandani
