Heya, this is a new one for me

after a random amount of time, it jst fails (usualy within 20min...somtimes 2, sometimes 5, sometimes 9) prime95 fails

HOWEVER, the kicker is the resulting sum is the exact same as the expected sum.... :confused:

for example, right now, it just failed and it says:

FATAL ERROR: Resulting sum was 3.155715440852562e+029, expected: 3.155715440852562e+029

What's up?
maybe one of you ppl have seen this before and can tell me what is goin on :)

unless the first 16 digits are the same, but afterwards they are not? (and cant be seen by the user)
