I checked it some years ago. It doesn't seem to. (But Mandelbrot fractals
do, that's where I got the idea from originally.) But don't take my word for
it, I was merely playing with Java's BigInteger class, and I don't think I
tested it extensively.

If you read George's source, he gives you an excellent advice: Go buy a book :-)
FFTs are (I guess) really serious maths, and you will need both a good
background _and_ a good textbook. Honestly, the Net doesn't contain very much
advanced material such as this.
