[ Article crossposted from sci.math.symbolic ] [ Author was Igor Sheyn ] [ Posted on 25 Feb 1997 02:02:21 GMT ] Hi, I encountered the following bug. Below is the file I load into Mathematica: --------------------------------------------------------------------- $RecursionLimit=Infinity f[1]=1;f[2]=1;f[n_]:=f[n]=f[n-1]+f[n-2] f[10075] --------------------------------------------------------------------- I define Fibonacci sequence recursively, while caching intermediate values. The program gives segmentation fault trying to find f[10075]. Any number higher than 10075 causes the same behavior. A thing to note is that after I've calculated f[10074], I can calculated f[10075] and higher, using cached values. Has any1 noticed this behavior?
