1. repeat() crash
--=======2C177438=======
Hello all,
Has anyone ever seen this before?
sequence s
s = repeat(0,1073741823)
I get a machine exception from ex.exe and exw.exe; With ex.exe on XP, I
didn't even get a Causeway error; it just stopped running and returned to
the command line. I haven't tried it with other large values.
This isn't a contrived example; I had initialized an integer var to
"high-values" and my logic was bad.

If you try smaller or larger values you'll get
a normal error message. You've hit on a number that causes
C overflow problems when I call C's malloc(), leading to a
machine-level exception. You should still get a Euphoria
ex.err file. I'll add a test for this and give you a better message.

That seems to be typical for CauseWay errors on XP for DOS.
Not much I can do, short of going into the CauseWay open source.

I have no XP to try that, but maybe 3.49 version (last at all)
of CauseWay is better than 3.45 for XP ?
