Problem with large array

[Geoff Keating]

The following program:

      subroutine foo()
      double precision xr(2**26)
      call bar(xr,w)
      end subroutine

when compiled with:

g77 -v -W -Wall -O2 tmp.f -c

produces the following output (word-wrapped for clarity):

Admittedly, an array of 512Mb is pretty large, but not unreasonably
so.  The crash does not happen if you only ask for a 256Mb array.
