Hmm, I should have been more thoughtful and careful about my bug report. I got it in J8-64 on OSX. I don't have J8 installed on my Windows machine, here, but I get no crash, and exactly your 16, in both J6 and J7 on Windows (both 64 bit), and I believe the J library in 7 is the same as in 8. When I get back to the office, I'll check the specific version of J I'm running there.

Even bigger than chained arrow notation is the number TREE(3), which is so ineffably large that humans have been literally unable to invent a notation to express it.
