I don't think I've seen this reported anywhere.  The good news is it does do 
the right thing in 2.0 but I've opened a 1.1.2 bug for the issue 
(http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=16658).  That 
means we'll consider fixing it for 1.1.2 but I have no clue how simple the fix 
will be - mainly because I have no clue how it got fixed in 2.0 :).  Thanks for 
the report.

Subject: [IronPython] precision problem with Int64

Hi all,

Is the following a known bug? (IPy 1.1.1)

>>> import System
>>> n = 8591464408876390743
>>> x = System.Int64(n)
>>> x
8591464408876390400L
>>> y = System.Int64(str(n))
>>> y
8591464408876390743L
>>> x == y
False

n is positive and contained in 63 bits, so there shouldn't even be 
signed/unsigned issues.

?
