I was able to track down the issue to a bug in the #for loop, which 
causes the loop to terminate one iteration too early if the end value is 
large (1048576 or higher on my Windows 7 x64 Intel i7 machine; I'm a bit 
surprised you get a lower limit; I'd be interested to know what OS and 
harware you are using).

As a workaround, use a #while loop with manual counter increment 
instead. It requires a few more tokens per loop, but works with 
significantly higher numbers.

I've already come up with a fix, but I'm not sure whether it will make 
its way into the 3.7.0 release proper.
