Long numbers conversion bug

Hey!
i just found a bug in $base.
first, converting from decimal to 36's numbersystem, big numbers (6-7 digits) not always return the right value (when i convert them back to decimal, they dont match the original number). and the more critical bug. try $base(9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999,10,36) . this does not return nothing. but if you use it in a command, for example echo, mirc quits. i hope you'll find the reason for this Khaled

Yes, i have reproduced it.

Using mIRC 6.12 and Windows 98 (Turkish)

Here is the error message:

gr8
well, i hope you wont be angry if i say, that win98 is a s h i t. it is based on dos, and slow and instabile and etc etc, well winnt is much better, and nt 5.1 (xp) is the best windows on the market so you'd better use xp than 98 because errors like this on win98 sometimes appear on an as complex calculation as (1+1)*(1-1) it isnt clever enough to calculate it, it isnt clever enough to just pass it to the cpu.

Please lets not turn this into an OS bashing thread. The OS used by anyone is a matter of personal choice and finances.

bah, sorry.. i just hate seeing ppl still crawling on those OS's
nevermind, so Khaled, $base is buggy!
