At compile-time, the automatic storage for any one procedure cannot 
exceed 16MB.  At run-time, the total automatic storage used by all 
procedures currently on the call stack cannot exceed 16MB.

The compiler _could_ catch some cases of too much automatic storage in a 
procedure, but it couldn't catch them all, because some of them are 
added after the compiler has generated its code.
