Thanks for the explanation.  I knew about val/var but wasn't so clear
about the heap/stack allocation.  I didn't know that global varibles
go on the heap but did know that calling a procedure caused allocation
of locals to the stack.

So I was making a huge allocation on the stack.  That's fixed now by
using a global.  I'm somewhat unclear why the compiler crashed though.
I would have thought that if it ran out of stack it would give a
warning.  But the odd thing is that when the program is being compiled
it's not even using the stack yet of course ...
