I didn't do 32-bit builds. So, here's the issue: this uncovers the frame size problems that were hidden by in being a VLA before. It was always possible for the frame to get this big, it's just that the compiler couldn't see it. For qat, I raised the -Wframe-larger-than flag. It seems we'll need to do this in some other places too. -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security
