Subject: Possible bug in Mac version?


I was sent the following by Philippe de Rochambeau, but not having a
Mac I can't confirm it:


    I would like to report a bug report for Ruby 1.6.6 on darwin (MacOSX
    10.1.2).

    The following program makes Ruby crash whenever you use the number
    400.

    # Save this as fact.rb
    def fact(n)
    if n == 0
    1
    else
    n * fact(n-1)
    end
    end
    print fact(ARGV[0].to_i), "\n"


    For instance, ruby fact.rb 40 works but ruby fact.rb 400 crashes Ruby.
