What were you trying to do?
Use xcalc to finnd 10^511
What's wrong:
It died. The window unmapped and left, the program isn't in ps.
This I don't have a problem with. However, it gave no error
of any kind.
Also, it dumped core. A frozen version will be kept in
~yandros/core.xcalc for a while; please tell me when I can
remove it.
What should have happened:
If it can't handle the math, then it should at
least tell me before it exits. Ideally, it should realize that
it can't handle the calculation and tell me so, without
exiting.
