 It does happen when using huge arrays, are there any local variables of
array types in this code?

 FWIW, "huge" means "megabytes". MSVC is relatively stingy with its default
size of only 1MB for the thread stack, but I believe gcc allocates more
than that by default, although I can't find any confirmation to this right
now. You could try using -Wl,--stack,XXX option to change the default to
something bigger.
