Cool.

That was my first thought too, but it says it hasn't run out of stack, and
checking with another tool it agreed that I'd assigned 500K, and shows
that it had only ever used 1% of that by the time it crashed.

Thanks. On Windows it crashes quite silently, I get the attached
"stackdump" file continually updated/rewritten as it goes through the
nsgenbind commands. No errors are ever reported on the Shell, until gcc
tries to read the generated files and they aren't there.
