#369: basic arithmetic broken on 64-bit platforms
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  felix       |       Owner:  felix
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:  4.7.0
Component:  unknown     |     Version:  4.6.x
 Keywords:  arithmetic  |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 On 64-bit systems, fixnum range can exceed the precision of doubles, which
 will generate sometimes incorrect results (due to the way overflow is
 currently detected). +, -, * and / will have to be reimplemented
 completely differently.
