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. - Moshe Braner
