In under 1 second, this kills the Kernel on my Powerbook G3 Mac running MacOS 8.6, and Mathematica 4.0, no matter how much memory I throw at it. Then an Error 10 bomb. That is one rude polynomial you have created. When I plot poly, the effect of its large cancelling terms (that make it sensitive to numerical round-off error) are obvious. Using the third argument of NSolve did not help. >My problem was that Mathematica crashed on an iMac and a G4 when >evaluating NSolve[poly==0,x], where poly is given below.
