Because the size of the stack is limited, and is set when your function is
invoked. You could allocate and delete the array within your function if it
doesn't need to be global.

Should be 10 mS, but according to something I gleaned from some header
files:
#if EMULATION_LEVEL == EMULATION_MAC
#define sysTicksPerSecond 60 // 60/sec on Macintosh
#elif EMULATION_LEVEL == EMULATION_NONE
#define sysTicksPerSecond 100 // 100/sec on Pilot
#elif EMULATION_LEVEL == EMULATION_WINDOWS
#define sysTicksPerSecond 1000 // 1000/sec on Windows PC
So, you really shouldn't count on the absolute value. Use the
sysTicksPerSecond macro. It can change from target to target.
The stack answer came from general C knowlege, and the ticks answer came
from starting my 1st palm program last week.
