Can you compile and run the following C++ program and report back?

    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
      using namespace std;

      size_t n = 2;
      for(size_t i = 0; i < 32; i++)
      {
        try{
          double *x = new double[n];
          delete[] x;
          cout << "iter: " << i
               << " memory: " << sizeof(double)*n
               << " length: " << n
               << endl;
          n *= 2;
        }
        catch (std::bad_alloc) {
          cout << "error: memory exhausted or requested size too large
for range "
               << "of Octave's" << endl
               << "index type -- trying to return to prompt" << endl;
          break;
        }
      }
    }

Thanks,
