Perhaps you should write an iterative fibonacci function in standard C
or C++ and try fib(100) or whatever n is needed to overflow ints on
that machine.  Or write a simple recursive function and try
recurse(30000).  If it works with one compiler on one OS and system,
try another.  Then write to the compiler maker and C standards
committee about the bugs you are finding after barely learning C.  I
am sure Microsoft will be glad to hear from you.
