Hmm,

if ($huge==1e+100) I would't say it is an issue, since it's far beyond 32 bits integer.

I know this example was a bit ridiculous, but AFAIK nowhere in our documentation does it say what the usable range of (pseudo-) integers in gretl is. All I'm saying is that we need a sentence like "don't use this function outside the range -2147483648 to 2147483647". And is that even correct? Or are we implying an even smaller range?

thanks
