Though they produce a StackOverflow error, the following code compiles
just fine:

   int[8053063679] isieve;
   uint[536870911] usieve;
   bit[96636764159] sieve;
   double[7784628223] dsieve;

However, all of the following produce:
       Internal error: ..\ztc\cgcod.c 614

   double[-1] d;

these all seem to be numbers bigger than 32 bits.  perhaps it has something
to do with the compiler truncating them and getting a negative value..?

i'm not sure why you want such large numbers though :)  though the compiler
should flag a negative array size as an error.
