Hi Jim,
Just reading the patch, I'm not sure that's solving both cases - i.e.
1) That there is a problem if your value is too large for RAM (i.e. a
memory exhausted)
2) There is something saying 'invalid number' on large values, and that
seems to depend on the word
size of the host.
I think the original reporter was confused by case (2); IMHO 'Memory
Exhausted' is enough diagnostics for (1).
