Stackoverflow on startup on large collection initializer

I'm building an application which uses relatively large tables to do its work (LR tables, to be precise). As I'm generating code anyway and the table isn't that large, I decided to serialize my table by generating code that uses the C# collection initializer syntax to initialize the table on startup of my generated program:

public static readonly int[,] gotoTable = new int[,]
{
    {
        0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,(...)
    },
    {
        0,0,4,0,5,6,0,0,0,0,0,7,0,0,(...)
    },
    (...)

Oddly enough, when I generated a table that had only a couple hundred thousand entries, the application that I generated crashes with a StackOverflowException on startup. The C# compiler compiles it just fine; the table generation application also runs just fine. In fact, when I switched to Release mode, the application did start up. An OutOfMemoryException might have made some sense, but even then the table I use is way to small for an OutOfMemoryException.

Code to reproduce this:

Warning: trying the code below in release mode crashed Visual Studio 2010 for me; watch out for losing unsaved work. Additionally, if you generate code for which the compiler generates lots of errors, Visual Studio will hang as well.

//Generation Project, main.cs:
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("../../../VictimProject/Tables.cs"))
{
    writer.WriteLine("using System;");
    writer.WriteLine("public static class Tables");
    writer.WriteLine("{");
    writer.WriteLine("    public static readonly Tuple<int>[] bigArray = new Tuple<int>[]");
    writer.WriteLine("    {");
    for (int i = 0; i < 300000; i++)
        writer.WriteLine("        new Tuple<int>(" + i + "),");
    writer.WriteLine("    };");
    writer.WriteLine("}");
}
