static arrays in C

[Simon McClenahan]

I have a program that uses 2 very large arrays (approximately 10,000,000
integers each!). They were declared as static int in the head of the
program (not in main(), outside that). When I try to compile it, segldr (I
think) won't generate the executable becauseit requires too much memory.

I removed the static keyword, and it now compiles fine! Does this mean I
have some sort of virtual array? Will my program work?
