The problem is that declaring an array that way causes it to be allocated on the stack, and the stack is not a good place to allocate large amounts of memory. You will almost certainly overflow the stack trying to do this. If instead you use malloc() and pointers, you can allocate arrays to any arbitrary depth, bounded only by total available memory.
