------- Additional Comments From ds at schleef.org  2004-05-20 15:32 -------
The existing code is wrong for several reasons.  64-bit pointers only make the
problem worse (possibly lots worse).

It is well-known that MAXINT is greater than -MAXINT-1, but (MAXINT-(-MAXINT-1))
is -1, leading the caller to believe that MAXINT < -MAXINT-1.

It's not entirely clear to me why this code wants to compare pointers.  Seems
rather dumb, and likely to be untested code.  But I'll leave it.

Thanks for noticing.
