1000000 timesRepeat: [12 factorial]

According to the code shown in the browser, the above expression should answer the receiver. It answers zero, instead.

(I realize the implementation is optimized by the compiler. It should still execute as if the Smalltalk code shown was being executed.)

It is probably easiest to change the putative Smalltalk code.

Thanks!
