Changed to low-enhancement to match 32834 (related by 32866) 
Low because happens to small set of users in integer functions applied to large
values. Issue is very real for users requiring extended precision - in this
case a mathematically sound workaround exists.  Integer ops on very large #s
must eventually run afoul of the underlying implementation's precision limit.  
It is an Enhancement to consider either a different implementation or different
action (err past limits) for integer operators/functions on very large or very
tiny numbers in either Calc or BASIC.
