if you remove -aA flag what is the problem?

I think I can work something out for the alloca function in the
configure file (autoconf should be able to handle it).

I think your solution (replace it with malloc) should be fine: I think I
can automatizate it through configure script.

thank you, you already helped a lot with your feedback :-)

I'd just need to know what the problems are without the -Aa flag.

As soon as I added some features for the alloca I can e-mail the beta
release to you, so that you can test it on your machine :-)

see you soon
