Display type:		NG1

What were you trying to do?
 I am running the following simple Mathematica program on
athena.

var[n1_,n2_,n3_,n4_,n5_]:=n1+n2/8+n3/27+n4/64+n5/125
Nt=7*13*9*7*25
i=0
Do[ {i=i+1,x[i]=var[n1,n2,n3,n4,n5]},
{n1,0,6},{n2,0,12},{n3,0,8},{n4,0,6},{n5,0,24}]

 
and Nt\sim 150000 is the length of the vestor x.

 I use
athena% math
on a standard athena workstation.

Then I get the usual:

Starting Mathematica. please wait....

To exit type Quit (case sensitive) at the Mathematica prompt...

for the Notebook interface version, start as "mathematica" instead...

What's wrong:
	
Then I run the program:

 I am replied:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Internal error: FreeExpr called on live expr.
Abort (core dumped)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I also  receive a big core file.

I have consulted olc who suggested to send a bug report.

I tried to use the program for a shorter vector x.
I had no problem. (this means I did not use n5 in the
program then every thing is ok).


What should have happened:


 I should get a vector instead of being kicked out of Mathematica.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

 see my conversations with olc consulant.
