Herbert Xu has rejected the equivalent patch for dash, writing:

>Sorry, but this is not the only place where dash relies on alloca.
>So you're bound to run into this problem again if you have a script
>that attempts to push dash to use more than 8MB in places like this.
>
>So I'm not going to accept this patch as alloca makes things a lot
>simpler in some cases.
