This sounds rather consistent to me. But... could you be more
specific? I couldn't produce the error. What numeric data type did
you use? What is the data type of the for loop counter? Maybe you
could give a clear example in which you get the run-time overflow.

Maybe PB got a wrong number of the line in which the error appeared.

That's strange indeed. I don't know an answer.
