Thanks for confirming that.  So far, we've found at least two bugs in
the code where a long is cast to int, just by reasoning about what
this test does and how else we could write it!  I believe there's no
way to get this test to do anything reasonable on a 64-bit machine, so
I'll disable it.  (It would have to be re-enabled if/when we change
object sizes to be a ssize_t equivalent type.)
