FFT wierdness in WAVE [message #6088]

Can anyone here enlighten me on why the plots produced with the
following commands are so different?

Other vector lengths which produce this strange behavior are;

5788 5788+16 5788+48
9848 9848-16 9848-32
and others

> plot,abs(fft(findgen(8395),-1)) - works!
> plot,abs(fft(findgen(8396),-1)) - fails! Peaks where none should be.

The contents of the vector do not matter. When the vector length is
8396 you get a spike on top of the proper spectrum.

Any ideas?
