Stack pointer gets corrupted

At the beginning of main I have two variables, namely:

unsigned char audioDataBuffer1[512];
unsigned char audioDataBuffer2[512];

Later in the code I use them as buffers for audio data from SD Card.

The problem is that the stack pointer is set too low and these big variables overwrite my stack pointer which is set automatically by Keil startup code. How is this possible?

I have noticed that the problem disappears when I set above variables to global, or when I use malloc instead.

I would appreciate if you could explain what goes wrong here and is there any reason I should not declare large variables like this?

Thank you.
