Bill, I apparently failed to explain the purpose of my post
very well. I'm not trying to actually compute the value of
'e'. I'm using a well know mathematical algorithm to keep
the FPU very busy while I switch tasks.

The purpose is to demonstrate sometime I've noticed -
SwiftForth appears to loose control of the FPU's stack when
switching between applications.
