Was "floatint point overflow" the actual failure? > (With such a huge request the virtual address space was >20Gbytes > But is that not what 64bits processors are for?) Sure this is what 64bit processor are for provided you actually have enough memory. How much memory do you have? You weren't running in virtual memory, were you? Also, due to access to appropiate hardware, I am unable to reproduce this problem. It would be quite helpful if you would try to establish at which number of digits the program starts to fail (approximately). Regards -richy. -- .''`. Richard B.
