It works for n < 61410, fails for n >= 61410 >is it always the same number, or >does it vary depending on, say, what other programs you're using, >how much you've already printed to the console, etc. Well, if I try with n = 61409 (that works), then it works even with n >= 61410. But, as an example, with n = 614100, it fails again... > are you >using a standard cmd.exe in a standard console? no cygwin or >other oddities? No. Only cmd.exe, started with /k "chcp.com 1252" (but is is the same without it). What a mess! P.S. Do you have installed SP1 or SP2 on Windows XP?
