In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA and replace it
with a fixed-length array instead.
>From a security viewpoint, the use of Variable Length Arrays can be
a vector for stack overflow attacks. Also, in general, as the code
evolves it is easy to lose track of how big a VLA can get. Thus,
In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA and replace it
with a fixed-length array instead.
