Package: clisp Version: 1:2.41-1 Severity: normal Hi, I can't take the rational value of any of the six extreme long-float constants listed below: for var in least-positive-long-float \ least-negative-long-float \ least-positive-normalized-long-float \ least-negative-normalized-long-float \ most-positive-long-float \ most-negative-long-float; do clisp -ansi -q -x '(let ((var '"'$var"')) (format t "~&~S => " var) (write (rational (symbol-value var))))' done LEAST-POSITIVE-LONG-FLOAT => *** - Program stack overflow. RESET LEAST-NEGATIVE-LONG-FLOAT => *** - Program stack overflow. RESET LEAST-POSITIVE-NORMALIZED-LONG-FLOAT => *** - Program stack overflow. RESET LEAST-NEGATIVE-NORMALIZED-LONG-FLOAT => *** - Program stack overflow. RESET MOST-POSITIVE-LONG-FLOAT => *** - Program stack overflow. RESET MOST-NEGATIVE-LONG-FLOAT => *** - Program stack overflow. RESET Similarly when invoked with "-m 32M" or "-m 128M". I'm pretty sure this shouldn't happen.
