>Description:
If code is compiled with any optimization (-O1 to -O3) it has a different behaviour than with compiled with no optimizations.
The code is related with precision errors.With optimizations there are no precision errors, without optimization there's a precision error!
>How-To-Repeat:
Just run the file with -O3 and without -O3 and see that in first case it runs fine(requires a couple of seconds, eg: 15s), in second case it enters an infinite loop(and just ends after looping all integers back to 0)
>Fix:
Don't known...perhaps don't use the sqrt function ?

without there's a precision error.
SQ's value has the correct value with -O3 (+1 than without -O3 for n==46611179)
