/*****************************************************************
*
* Ackermann
*
* This program implements a famous mathematical function that
* is often used to examine recursion. It is deceptively
* simple, but can take enormous amounts of time and stack
* space for relatively small arguments. For that reason,
* rangechecking has been enabled to ensure the integrity of the
* stack.
