Python 2.7.2 (default, May 18 2012, 18:25:10)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)] on linux2

I get the same result on Python 2.6 and 3.3, but *not* using Jython or 
IronPython. Both of those run to completion.

Don't you love floating point mysteries? I cannot imagine how confusing 
it was back in the dark ages pre-IEEE 754.
