Sure. I'm posting it to the list, since the results are odd. And maybe
someone feels like trying to reproduce this on some other platforms than
mine?
Here we go (from my windows2000):
>> print to-integer debase/base "F2" 16
62
>> print to-integer debase/base "10" 2
0
On my SuSE linux 7.1, I got this:
>> print debase/base "10101010" 2
** Script Error: Not enough memory
** Where: halt-view
** Near: print debase/base "10101010" 2
>> print debase/base "10101" 2
none
>>
(Not enough memory? 256M RAM?) And then this:
>> print to-integer debase/base "F2" 16
Segmentation fault

The rebol console vanishes, but the process is still running:
allvardo:/rebol # ps aux | grep rebol
root 24283 0.0 0.3 3040 820 pts/1 S 19:03 0:00 ./rebol
Your bin-str-val function:
bin-str-val: func [s[string!]] [to-integer debase/base s 2]
sometimes crashes on my windows machine. The whole rebol console
disappears. I haven't been able to reproduce this on my linux.
There you go. Hope this helps someone in some way.
