[Bug c++/41466] New: segfault when using implicit dynamic allocation

[Knut dot Franke at gmx dot de]

Allocating blocks of memory using a declaration like "double X[n];" leads to
segfaults if n is large enough (something like 1100000). Also happens when
allocating two smaller chunks, as in "double X[n/2], Y[n/2];". No problems with
explicit dynamic allocation ("double *X = new double[n];").

Bug #18216 looks somewhat similar, but doesn't mention segfaults. My limited
knowledge of the intricacies of memory allocation and alignment doesn't allow
me to tell for sure whether it's the same bug or not.
