stack memory allocation

[tim at unc.UUCP]

    Stack space can be allocated in C, if its size is known at
translation time, by simply putting a declaration for the data at the
head of a block.  When the block is entered, the space is allocated,
and when the block is left, the space is dealocated.  This has the
added advantage of accessing the data through a variable instead of a
pointer, making for cleaner code.
