Synopsis: alloca() couldn't detect thread stack limit

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: deischen
State-Changed-When: Thu Jul 26 05:44:11 PDT 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
alloca() is machine dependent and its use is discouraged.
And, from the Solaris man-page:

   Note: if the allocated block is beyond the current
   stack limit, the resulting behavior is undefined.
