Nothing strange about that. You're taking an 8 member list and
doubling it 10 times. Each time through the loop the "l" is twice
as long as it was before. Do the math. It's (2^10)*8
Well, 8291 doesn't look like 8192 to me, but I credit that to a typo.
But I suppose Paul meant that he found a way to overcome some
strange implementation limits, when dealing with lists: 8192 items
is larger than this certain limit. Am I correct?
If that's the case, then I completely misread his post.
This works, so I don't think it's a number limitation on lists he meant. Shrug.
set x to "a"
set y to {"B"}
repeat 10000 times
copy x to end of y
end repeat
y -->too big to display, but no error, no apparent problem
