I am not so sure that using alloca is a good idea in general.
Here's what the alloca man page in Linux says:
BUGS
The alloca() function is machine and compiler dependent. On many
systems its implementation is buggy.
Its use is discouraged.
In the case of the patch here it is restricted to one special system (Darwin)
that you know a lot better than I do, so I do trust your judgement.
Thanks
Peter
