Comment:
So numChars is over 500k in this case which clearly just overflows the
stack. I've implemented a fix using BStackOrHeapArray, but looking through
that file there's a lot of similar cases that need fixing and a lot of
missing sanity checks of incoming values and error checks of allocations.
It's somewhat surprising that such problems don't seem to happen more
often.
