I don't think this is legal

Hmm, seems C99 allows this. I didn't know that - my bad.

Personally, I avoid variable length arrays out of fear that the allocation might fail. On 10.3 or 10.4 I ran into a situation where writing to memory from alloca was smashing the stack; unfortunately it didn't return NULL when it wasn't able to allocate sufficient memory. My impression was that the mechanism is similar for these, but I could be totally wrong...
