The following (derived from a gcc test) repeatedly allocates a variable-sized
object inside a loop.  The 
intent is that the object should be deallocated each iteration, to avoid
blowing out the stack.  llvm does not currently do this.  (I can't find that
the standard requires this behavior, but it seems like a good idea.)

void *volatile p;
int  main (void)
{
  int n;
  for (n=0; n<1000000; n++) {
  int x[n % 47 + 1];
  x[0] = 1;
  p = x;
  }
  return 0;
}
