[q-lang-users] Bug?

[Eddie R. <ed...@bm...>]

I made a mistake of using a real number .2 to a factorial function
defined as

fact N = if N = 0 then 1 else N * fact (N-1);

and it gives a segment fault (on debian Linux). However, a factorial
function defined as

fact 0 = 1;
fact N = N * fact (N-1);

stack overflows which is what I would expect. Why the difference?
