Good. Then there's some other problem, but it's not going to get fixed
in this release. (I'm assuming that the unit tests never passed in
previous releases). I've created bug 4610 for it. Would be great if
someone could attach a disassembly listing of bigintx86.obj to that
bug report, and I'll try to get it fixed for the next release.
