It is an issue here. It doesn't matter what numbers are in the 
arrays, what matters is if some random values on stack look like 
pointers pointing inside those arrays, which often happens with 
large arrays.
Essentially it means in 32 bits we shouldn't GC-allocate anything 
larger than a few KBs, the larger the thing you allocate the more 
chances are it won't be collected due to false pointers on the 
stack and other data.
