Scripting competition

Now that folks have posted some solutions that apparently work, can someone
explain why using a simple algorithm doesn't?

function findFib pNum
   put 0 into num1
   put 1 into num2
   repeat pNum - 1
      put num1 + num2 into num3
      put num2 into num1
      put num3 into num2
   end repeat
   return num3
end findFib

There's no decimals involved (unless you use a formula, which I've been
trying to do) so what limitation is the computer running up against?

Thanks for answering the mathemalacking of us.
