Por algum motivo, esse código resulta em um arquivo text.txt truncado. Deve (de acordo comigo) escrever 1000 resultados, mas o arquivo de saída tem várias quantidades de linhas (dependendo da execução). Estranhamente, a gravação no arquivo é interrompida no meio do comando write, de forma que uma linha pode não estar completa. Atualmente, as últimas três linhas do arquivo de texto para a última execução são as seguintes:

749, 78.97988, 97.80454, 99.6625, 94.00000015258789
750, 4.1745043, 86.64212, 107.59311, 71.00000008583069
751,

e é isso. Nada mais depois disso.

Aqui está o código:
