Code Crashes on DEC, but not on anything else

I have a user who has written a simulation which deals with a fairly
large array. When the array is 142^2 items long it runs fine, but as
soon as he increases the number to 143 or above the program crashes.
The program runs fine on SGI, Linux, and Solaris.

While fiddling with this problem, I was able to write a program to
travers an array 256^2 (65536) elements long without any problem.

By expermentation I've figured out that the error is cause by some
code after a certain line number, unfortunetely when I try to use
ladebug to figure out the offending command it will not even run the
first line 'cout << "Test" << flush;', it gives an error "thread
received signal SEGV".

Does anyone have ideas what might be the problem?

thanks,
James
