The reason that the benchmark ran in 4 sec on a z-80 is that the z-80 truncated
the number (mod 2^16) to make it fit into 16 bits.  The default integer size
on the other machines was 32 bits, which is adiquite to hold the number given.

In other words, the z-80 didn't execute the code intended, and the compiler was
dificient in not giving some kind of range warning of converssion error warning
or some such.
