Comment(by mjo):
Hmm, I wonder how big we can make the exponent. I was guessing `(2^31 -
1)`, but `670592745` is way smaller than that.
Since the crash was on a 32-bit machine, we can assume (i.e. hope) that it
was due to the overflow. With that in mind, maybe we should just ignore
the output with "..." and consider the test a success if it doesn't crash?
