Not the least bit surprising.  It's a 4 byte integer.  2 billion is tops
(approximately).  Since I have the source, I could easily make it a long long or
a double.

My big problem is that although I am patient, I find it hard to wait weeks for a
single number.  Someone was already working on it.  I was hoping that they got
somewhere.  It was Steven J. Edwards [see my other message].
