You're running off the end of the stack, because of the large amount
of data you're trying to put there. OS X by default has a tiny stack
size, so codes that run on Linux (which defaults to a much larger
stack size) sometimes show this problem. Your best bets are either to
increase the max stack size or (more portably) just allocate
everything on the heap with malloc/new.
Hope this helps,
Brian
