OK.

This test is

/* bug reported on mailing list circa 2007-11-27; bignum in exponent */

is (errcatch (rat (x^(2^128))) = []);
false;

Maxima + CMUCL 18e (yes, it's old, but I guess it's the same error) complains:

Error in function KERNEL::INTEXP:
   The absolute value of 340282366920938463463374607431768211456
exceeds EXTENSIONS:*INTEXP-MAXIMUM-EXPONENT*.

I'm going to let it go. Dunno what we can do about it.

I don't think all of the share_testsuite tests have ever passed.
I hope someone will resolve these problems.
