Subject: Integer#to_s(2) works on x86, fails on x86_64

Hello,

Can anyone explain why this is happening?


---- on x86_64 ----

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux]

$ irb
>> 2956350890592680056.to_s(2)
RangeError: integer 2956350890592680056 too big to convert to `int'
        from (irb):1:in `to_s'
        from (irb):1
        from :0


---- on x86 ----

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i486-linux]

$ irb
>> 2956350890592680056.to_s(2)
=> "10100100000111000100010111100010111001001011111011100001111000"


Thanks for your consideration.
