[ID 20000421.002] Math::BigInt out of memory?
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from ben_tilly@trepp.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
The Math::BigInt module gives a spurious "Out of Memory" message.
I discovered the problem while trying a simple factorial:
use Math::BigInt ':constant';
my $fact = 1;
foreach (my $n = 1; $n < 2362; $n++) {
$fact *= $n;
}
print $fact;
When you enter this by hand you see that it dies while compiling
the third line. It dies the same way in Windows as in Linux.
