Thanks for reporting this. It's supposed to work no matter how
many digits you type (up to the maximum length of a line - 200
characters.). It fails for me too, when I add an extra digit.
It fails in the assignment statement, *before* the call to printf().

Internally, it fails when I  pass the string of 92 digits to
WATCOM's sscanf() C routine. So it's actually a C bug,
not a Euphoria bug.   

I'll fix it for the next release.
