10000! (Sorry... but)



Unfortunately, every time I try to compute 10000! I get the error
message

------
Error: Out of bignum stack space, (si::MULTIPLY-BIGNUM-STACK n) to grow
Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by CATCH.
Broken at MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL.  Type :H for Help.

I know this post may seem *ridiculous*, but

  1) I have been able to compute it under any math-package I have
  used in my laptop (Maple for Windows, MuPAD for Windows, for
  Linux, and some other).
  2) It is the first speed-test I always try (it is not too good,
  but it is easiest).
  3) (The most important) I think I am doing something wrong with
  my configuration, and would like to mend it.
  4) In fact, I cannot print it even if I multiply the bignum
  stack and get enough space...

Thank you very much,

	  Pedro.
