>Description:
When trying to compile a large 3d array, you get the error message:
array too large
But when you compile the code below, you get this error message:

[jeff@jeff:~] gcc -o t t.c
t.c: In function `main':
t.c:4: Internal compiler error in `assign_stack_temp_for_type', at function.c:940
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.



int main(){
        int blah[1000][1000][1000];
        scanf("%d",blah);
return 0;
}


>How-To-Repeat:
I haven't tested it on any other architecture/OS, but you should be able to repeat it on FreeBSD 4.3-Release by attempting to compile code with the correct 3d array size.
