Answer 1

As others explained, the size of the object is bigger than the (default) size defined for function stack frame. There are two solutions: 1) create an object on the heap, which is likely to be bigger; or 2) increase the function stack frame size, which can be problematic in 32-bit environment, because you can run out of addressable space, but it can easily be done in 64-bits.
