>Description:
I wrote a small program named "a.c" as follows.
main()
{
  int a[540000000];  
}

If I compile it using gcc, I get following message.

a.c: In function `main':
a.c:4: Internal compiler error in `assign_stack_temp_for_type', at 
function.c:937
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport> for 
instructions.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just compile the attached file using gcc(version 2.95.2)
on a SunOS machine.
>Fix:
Compiler should check array size.
