[Help-smalltalk] bug report?

[nico]

Hi,

I don't know if this really a bug, but trying to do some benchmarks with
a factorial between Smallalk dialects, I got a code dumped:

st> Integer extend [
st> factorial [
st> self = 0 ifTrue: [^1].
st> self > 0 ifTrue: [^self * (self -1) factorial]]]

st> 100 factorial

It looks like the printNl made it crash, which may be normal, I don't
know, that's why I'm asking.

BTW, in Squeak it takes 397 ms on my computer to run 10000 factorial
while it takes more than 26 seconds with gst.
