Nice, I'll have a look at that soon.

No, it's not unportable, even if your compiler is broken.

Urgh.  alloca() was not used for fuzzy reasons.  Either fix the broken
compiler alloca(), or write one that works.  I'm pulling ripcord
storage off the stack for a reason.

(Of course, if this was just a 'good enough to get it working, will
fix it correctly later' issue, I'll stop the rant here).
