Hardly. The 50g can easily handle integers over 50000 digits although slowly on the physical calculator. The Prime has many times the RAM of the 50g, so that can't be the issue. I would guess that the limits are there to simplify memory management but I have no actual knowledge of how the Prime works internally.

The Prime G2 has a thousand times the memory and the speed.
It should handle 50,000,000 digits.

Supposing all the development from now on focusing on the G2 only
we should have a new XCas version with a memory error hooked into the OS.
Since Cyrille did the malloc (etc) this can be done and must be done!
Parisse just has to remove the stupid limitations!
