Definitely!
I slightly modified your example:
First cell:
{{{
R.<x> = QQ[]
Nterms = 60000
}}}
Second cell:
{{{
p=0
for k in range(Nterms):
p += x^k
p in RQ
}}}
When I evaluate the second cell, the cursor jumps to the next cell, as
if evaluation was successful. But the expected output "True" did not
appear, and neither did any other command had any visible effect.
So, I don't think that fast_float is to blame here. In fact, if you do
the same on the command line, the for-loop does not finish (eventually
with memory error).
>From that, I would guess that the notebook gives the wrong impression
that the evaluation of the for-loop is finished, while in fact the
computation is stuck. And I think this is a bug in the notebook.
Do people agree?
Best regards,
Simon
