[1/2] from: anton::lexicon::net at: 28-Sep-2002 18:15
The following versions of rebol:
REBOL/View 1.2.8.3.1 3-Aug-2002
REBOL/View 1.2.5.3.1 6-May-2002
REBOL/View 1.2.1.3.1 21-Jun-2001
on Windows 2000, this value works ok:
make bitset! 1057222208
but reliably crash on:
make bitset! 1057222216 ; and higher values
REBOL - Fatal System Error
** CRASH (Should not happen) - Expand series overflow
[OK]
Anton.

Have you submitted it to feedback? In any case, it's good to know that we're
limited to just over a billion bits. :) I get a 'not enough memory' error
with your first value, and also crash with the second. I have 384M physical
in my machine.
