Hello group,

Currently, the +, - en * operations in zend_operators in C do their calculcations on long arguments with doubles, and check if the result would fit in a long.

This failed for me on FreeBSD/alpha (in some of the math tests), because doubles are not accurate enough to represent LONG_MIN or LONG_MAX. This causes the comparison

'((double) LONG_MAX) + 1 > (double) LONG_MAX'

to result in 'false' because they have the same double representation.
Since a lot of tests use LONG_MAX in comparisons, this caused a lot of them to fail on this architecture.


One solution could be to use long doubles, but in my opinion it is better to check the sign bit directly.

A patch is attached.
