[IronPython] Bug of big integer manipulation

[Martin Maly]

By any chance, were you able to determine which operation caused the exception and which numbers were involved? What would help me find out what the problem is faster would be get a call stack (for that, could you please run your repro with -X:ExceptionDetail switch? Then ideally if you could find out what the big integer numbers were with which the operation failed, that would be ideal.

Thanks!
Martin

Subject: [IronPython] Bug of big integer manipulation

Hello,

NZMATH is a Python based number theory oriented calculation system developed by Tokyo Metropolitan University. The URL is http://tnt.math.metro-u.ac.jp/nzmath/.

Using NZMATH, I encounterd a bug of big integer manipulation.
