Subject: maximum settings for CHARSET_LENGTH and CHARSET_SCALE

Hi

 I want crack password up to 26 letters (lower) and digits (0-9)
 In the params.h source file,  what is the maximum value for :

#define CHARSET_MIN			'0' <-- zero
#define CHARSET_MAX		'z'
#define CHARSET_SIZE		(CHARSET_MAX - CHARSET_MIN + 1)
#define CHARSET_LENGTH		26   <--- I can compile with these value, but I can't generate a charset (Self test failed (pow64of32() overflow)
#define CHARSET_SCALE		36   <--- I can compile with these value (Self test failed (pow64of32() overflow), is 36 too high or not enough ???

 and yes, I read past posts about this recurrent question (The 1st question was from Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2007 15:00:01 +0400) !

Thanks,

 W/A/
