Purify problem or compiler problem?

Hi,

I am using sun's CC (c++ compiler) to compile the follow code:

#define __REENTRANT
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *one(void *dummy);

void two(void);
void output(void);

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t tid;
pthread_create( &tid, NULL, one, NULL );
pthread_join(tid,NULL);
}

void *one(void *dummy)
{
output();
two();
return NULL;
}

void two(void)
{
output();
}

void output(void)
{
//char string[16468]; //This one purify likes
//char string[16469]={0}; //This and greater makes purify spit
BSW's
char string[16469]; //This and greater makes purify spit a
IPW/R's
string[0]='\0';
}

This is purify's output:

IPW: Invalid pointer write
This is occurring while in thread 7:
void output() [testmain3.o]
void two() [testmain3.o]
void*one(void*) [testmain3.o]
_thread_start [libthread.so.1]
Writing 1 byte to 0x7e5fbbef on the stack of thread 7.
Address 0x7e5fbbef is 16473 bytes below frame pointer in
function void output().

This is with CC. With gcc or g++ it does not have this problem. cc has
the problem too but with a larger number in the array.

Is it the compiler/linker bug or it purify making things up?

If it is the compiler I assume I am screwing up memory badly.
