hi

i'm under way of implementing a powerlaw stokes with newton iteration in 
a mixed formulation (2d triangles).
compiling my forms with ffc runs into the following:

a)
using normal tensor representation the compile fails in 
monomialintegration.py when computing the terms with:

ValueError: dimensions too large.

b)
using quadrature representation the compile takes very long (>20min) and 
cpu and memory are heavy and increasing, so i aborted.


i don't understand the error from (a), what does it mean?
if (a) fails, does it necessarily mean that my forms have an error and 
(b) will fail as well, or should i try running (b) to the end?


thanks for your help
