                          IINM my system is failing when _bashing_

    for i in {0..10000000}; #   Seven zeroes.
    do
        false;
    done #   bash exited and its tmux pane/window was closed.
or

    for i in $(seq 0 10000000); #   Seven zeroes.
    do
        false;
    done #   bash exited and its tmux pane/window was closed.
but not when

    for i in {0..1000000}; #   Six zeroes.
    do
        false;
    done #   Finished correctly.
Can you please briefly explain the internals of this behavior and prompt a workaround for getting the task done?
