New submission from Tim Wilcoxson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: According to the documentation there is not suppose to be numeric overflow in python 2.5. However....
If you run a for loop with the range(1, 300000000)a couple of times (for me 2 or 3 times worked) in the IDLE (1.2.2)GUI . It will cause what appears to be a memory leak, at least under vista home edition. Haven't tested out other platforms yet. Vista's logon process will fail to start security dialog as well if you try to ctrl-alt-del. Which effectively cripples the system. I haven't tested to see if the condition will get better over long period of time. I've waited a max of 10 minutes for the system to respond. I tested running the script multiple times under cmd in windows, and it spits out a memory error after a minute of not responding and then the cmd prompts will close and the system will begin responding. So it appears to be isolated to IDLE. ---------- components: IDLE files: for_loop.py messages: 65167 nosy: Qodosh severity: normal status: open title: numeric overflow in IDLE type: crash versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9982/for_loop.py __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2584> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
