Seg Fault

[Leon Smith]

Hugs December-2001 has the following behaviour:

let fact a x = if x <= 1 then a else fact (a * x) (x - 1) in fact 1 8000
{- a darn large number -}

let fact a x = if x <= 1 then a else (fact $! a * x) (x - 1) in fact 1 9000
{- a much bigger number -}

let fact a x = if x <= 1 then a else fact (a * x) (x - 1) in fact 1 9000
Segmentation fault

best,
