Question: Maple 2016 exited with code 158

This is simplified from a larger example.  I never saw Maple exit from a numercal calculation.

> 123456789 ^ 987654321:
Execution stopped: Stack limit reached.

Process Maple R2016 exited abnormally with code 158

> kernelopts(maxdigits);
                                  38654705646

> lprint(123456789. ^ 987654321.);
.4339566080e7991619731

kernelopts(memusage) shows about 2~3 meg bytes used.

The system has 16G Ram.  16G swap.

Seems like something maple should have caught.

Please Wait...
