See, you really should upgrade to one of these new, fancy,
digital-readout models that use Lisp. Unfortunately, on this post
mine kept running out of memory, I think it was consing a bignum.

Mine didn't run out of memory, but it did keep asking for more swap.
I kept giving it more and more swap, but eventually I ran out of disk
space, and it didn't like me trying to swap over the network.
I tried the Scheme version of the troll-o-meter but it kept recursing
into infinity on this, eventually choking with an error about running
out of continuation stack...
