how do I know it worked? about multi-language-bench HOT 3 OPEN

I have a suggestion based on my own experience with that program: make sure to 
give enough stack size in the linker options... More specifically, under the 
Linker Properties, Choose the System sub-property and set Stack reserve size 
and Stack commit size to, say, 10M. The value must be inputted in bytes.

I had the same problem running the Java and C# versions. The program requires 
more than 1M of stack space.

Oh, and to answer your question, the output is indeed correct. I don't know why 
the output is not the same as for the Java version...

Nico, thank you.

Yes, I found out about the stack overflow by running a debug build under 
MSVC2010 - it stopped with an out of stack error, although the MSVC IDE 
struggled to show the fault, I guess because of the many thousands of stack 
levels. I've not tried any of the other implementations.

Looking at the code I found the seventy six thousand AND TWO an odd result. I 
would really have liked a simple assert(loops == 76002) to reassure me!

Also, I found the loop dump odd - it looked like it was going to dump out the 
loops found, but just dumped zeros.

I haven't looked much since. I might take another look now.
