| SEGV on bad recursion |
Hi, here's what happening:
\\ f() is an recursively defined identity map on Z+ \ {1}
f(n)=if(n==2,2,f(n-1)+1)
f(1)
That's where gp segfaults and dies.
My guess is that gp doesn't handle infinite recursion
well. Rather, it handles it awefully, because it can't
even trap a SEGV.
Thanks
Igor
