Bug#27053: Shouldn't be a problem on today's systems

[Adam Majer <adamm@galacticasoftware.com>]

I think you tried running it with little free memory...

I just tried it and I get:

mira:~> factorint 314159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899862803482534117967

and top gives:

running on 650MHz Athlon...


Only 2M mem used after almost 3h of running!

IMHO, if there are no objections, I'll just add the error to the man page and close the bug..
