I couldn't find anything but: This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.7)
This is the beta downloaded on the 28th of March.
...and whadda ya know. It broke for me with an integer overflow, just as
the OP reported. Error follows, but it's the same as he mentioned in the
thread.
This *definitely* worked for me earlier tonight, though, with exactly
the same setup and all. That's ... odd.
Ah. Found it. It only crashes that way if I am running off PDF output
with a '% output=pdftex' in the file -- running off to DVI works fine.
So, there you go. That makes a substantial difference. Sorry if I
confused the issue at all. It seems that running the output with PDF
output hits:
systems : begin file test at line 3
layout : calculating backgrounds
Randomizer initialized to 1638256672. [MP to PDF] (./mpgraph.8000
! Arithmetic overflow.
