$ time pi 1000000000 > pi Floating point overflow. real 505m34.348s user 314m7.021s sys 10m59.082s I don't have a full 20Gbytes of memory, so it is swapping. However, except for speed and killing my disk, it should not affect the result surely? (I have 8Gbytes) Fortunately it didn't drop a core :) -- Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
