In that case it should give runtime error 202, I checked that with stack
checking
on. It gives runtime error 207 (Invalid Floating Point operation).

I also tried to start with different n. It allways crashes at the
starting n + 8.

I did this on linux.

I also tried different things with this: allways when you are doing some
calculation it
crashes.


Besides this I compiled it using the GNU Pascal Compiler. Now it works,
as I expected, because
gpc shares almost all important compiler stuff with gcc.

Isn't it a bug of fpc?
