Dan might be right. How else could the problem be so persistent? (I
now see you've just said it's unlikely)
But in case it's not a virus or the like, can you provide an example of
the kind of function for which you required the 3rd power of application?
Presumably it's not just a case of numerical overflow. I know I
sometimes come to grief with careless use of extended integers on those
pesky Euler problems, but do usually manage to kill the J or JQT
process from task-manager (in Windows).
Perhaps you could virus-check your reply!!!

Could it be a virus that's infected the executables? There should be no
reason a fresh J session (launched after a reboot, no less) to take any
significant amount of memory. It should take just enough to run the
executable and no more until you start calculations.

It becomes even stranger, if I start J602, it behaves the same as jqt,
occupying more memory then you can imagine.
I have never seen such a thing before. Anyone a hint?

Subject: [Jbeta] a nuisance in jqt
I wrongly entered ^:33 when trying to enter ^:3 and this made my
machine irresponsive, so I cancelled the J-process.
A nuisance however was that, after trying to restart J801, it appeared
jqt.exe was still involved in the former calculation, occupying more
than
10
Gb of memory and leaving J801 unstartable. So I cancelled jqt as well,
but when I restarted J801, jqt.exe came back with the same result. And
even after restarting my machine it did!
Jqt is running now for almost 10 minutes, and it can go on for hours,
without me able to use J801.
Up until now I had no reason to go back to J602, but now I definitely
have.
