Despite a warning about implicit calling of the 'system(...)' function, it
compiled fine under gcc and g++. When I ran it.. It went past the number 98
and up into the hundreds. Perhaps it's computer related, or perhaps there's
a bug in the memory handling routines? (I've noticed similiar things
calling MALLOC too many times, or doing millions of string manipulations in
short amounts of time). Just thought I'd let you know it's more confusing
than we could have imagined.
