alloca could be the problem, but it's unlikely since gcc should have been
built with itself, which means it should be using its internal alloca
which does free memory as soon as the function goes out of scope.

Corey -- can you run gcc under the debugger to find out where it dies?
function name and some context (instead of line #s) ought to be enough
to get us started.
