program exception-stack overflow

I'm using the Intel Fortran Compiler on a Windows xp Edition x64 SP2 (processor at 2.83 GHz and with 16 GB of RAM). I'm compiling the code using the x64 option.
I'm tried to allocate up to 8 GB of memory using stack reserve size. I'm not able to allocate more than 2 GB as whenever the total dimension of the common block is greater than about 16 GB, I get the message "program exception-stack overflow".

Any suggestion? Thank you.

2GB is the absolute max for stacksize - this is a Windows limitation. Try building with /heap-arrays to cause array temps to be allocated dynamically. You may also want to see if you can figure out how to avoid having stack temps created in the first place - in some cases you may not be able to that.
