1.1 billion again and it's hung up. Didn't get the process kill code yet but I got a feeling it's coming. Gonna let this play out and see what happens but I think this is it for me on this angle. Gonna have to get a better setup before trying again but at least I know I got the winning formula, just need the right tools to work it out.
Maybe I'll be back in a month or so. Thanx to everyone who contributed. For now I may be beaten, but I'm far from defeated.
