Static memory allocation

[Sriharsha Vedurmudi]

Well, Patrick,

    Actually the original post of this program referred to a[1449][0] 
element only. I guess it was a typo this time from Ankit (and that was 
the reason I did not bother to go through the program again). Anyway, 
Claudio's answer did clear most of the fog.

Cheers,
Harsha.
