   FYI, here are the binary and hexadecimal conversions for the above.
These are done using my programming language/calculating tool "Frink" (
http://futureboy.us/frinkdocs/ ) which is the program I'm trying to use
with Kaffe.

4294967292 -> base2
11111111111111111111111111111100

4294967292 -> base16
fffffffc

18446744073709551612 -> base2
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111100

18446744073709551612 -> base16
fffffffffffffffc

   It appears that maybe something's going wrong in the upper 32 bits?
That is, they're defaulting to 1 instead of 0?  Or sign bits not getting
handled correctly or extended improperly?  The BigInteger is getting
constructed from a long in the test program.
