[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Remove unbounded uses of alloca in the Guile bindings (!1022)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

I don't think it's a good idea to eliminate `alloca` just because we stumbled upon a portability bug, and one that's not unsolvable (`alloca` portability was one of the first tasks for Autoconf decades ago :-)).

The patch I submitted eliminates what's problematic about existing uses of `alloca`: unbounded stack growth.  I now realize it's not what you had in mind for #684, but I think it's an improvement nonetheless.

WDYT?
