So, in a way,   _   *is* being treated as a value (the maximum
integer).
Can someone with J64 run the above and post the results?

J64 Win XP

This seems more "correct" than the results above. That is, the signs seem more plausible.

   i: 2147483647j1
_2147483647 2147483647

I note that in Linux32 the results are similar to Win32 and the sign does strange things compared to the PPC numerics on my iMac...
