Looking at Single Unix as found at
http://www.UNIX-systems.org/apis/0.r.html

I cannot see a definition of alloca. I don't think it is covered by
any international or industry standard. It seems the HP definition is
pretty good: It's system dependant (sp?), so all systems that provide
it should document the implementation and possible limitations.
