Hi. Something is wrong when I use Power within TimeConstrained. It is reproducible like below, command := TimeConstrained[While[True, 10^200]; True, 1, False] While[True, command] After about 30 sec., the kernel dies (on Windows) or segmentation fault occurs (on Linux). Strange to say, using any function except for Power, this phenomenon doesn't occur. My Mathematica is version 4.0.1.0 Student both for Windows and Linux, and 3.0.1.1x Student for Windows. My CPU are Pentium III and AthlonXP. I heard from Japanese Mathematica mailing list that this phenomenon occurs also on version 4.2 for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Does anyone have an advice for me?
