pippijn at osiris aldor $ tests/library/axllib/bigmand.run
overflow while calculating 0x7fffffffffffffff - 0xffffffffffffffff
[1]    16694 trace trap  tests/library/axllib/bigmand.run

This is exactly what I was talking about.
0x7fffffffffffffff - 0xffffffffffffffff is the invalid negation. It does
happen.. just nobody notices. I'll look into gmp some more, but this
still has to be fixed. I'll also look at the IS_IMMED macros (nontrivial
stuff, not for 5AM).
