Try GNU Guile: it'll happily fill your computer's memory with long integers:

  tomas@rasputin:~$ guile

  scheme@(guile-user)> (expt 2 2)
  $1 = 4
  ; aha: that's the function we're looking for ;-)
  scheme@(guile-user)> (expt 2 400)
  $2 = 2582249878086908589655919172003011874329705792829223512830659356540647622016841194629645353280137831435903171972747493376
