> The four-byte-key (fbk) autotest was allocating the keys to be used for
> the test on the stack. When the number of entries in the table was
> increased significantly, for example, to test larger hashes by increase the
> value of ENTRIES, this array of keys was greater than that
> allowed on the stack, and so caused problems, i.e. crashes and core dumps.
> 
> The solution is to have the keys dynamically allocated on the heap using
> malloc. Now if ENTRIES is increased and we run out of memory we get an
> error message instead of a crash.
