Thanks Benoît, that fixed the problem.

I ran the Polynom benchmark on my old HP laptop (2.8 ghz) under Ubuntu
10.10 (32 bit) comparing Perl, ScriptBasic, Python and Gambas 3. I'm
assuming at this point that ScriptBasic being typeless and dynamically
creating it's work array is the reason for the disparity.

Note: I changed N in all programs to be 50000 from 500000.
