[clean-list] 65537 on Linux

[lethevert]

Hello,


I noticed an interesting thing in Clean 2.2 on Linux.

I created a module Test5Add as the following.

==Test5Add.dcl=====================================================
definition module Test5Add

add :: Int Int -> Int

==Test5Add.icl=====================================================
implementation module Test5Add

import StdInt

add :: Int Int -> Int
add a b = a + b

===================================================================

Then I made a main module.

==Test5.icl========================================================
module Test5

import StdEnv, Test5Add

Start = foldl add 0 (take 65537 (repeat 1))

===================================================================

Then run the program but it did not return.
I changed the number 65537 to 65536, then it returned within a second.

I tried it on Windows environment and both programs returned in a second.

I wonder why this happens. Is it a bug?


The detail of the Linux environment is the following.

$ uname -srvmo
Linux 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 13 18:45:35 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

The CPU type is "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+."
