I had assumed that memory allocated with stackAlloc() would be automatically released when the function returns, but it seems that I need to use stackSave()/stackRestore() to release the memory. I wonder if stackAlloc() has now any benefits at all over malloc() if one has to manually release the memory. Well at least I have to release it once per function, not for each allocation.
