More important, INTEGER_TO_INT's type conversion messes up and can cause
a signal on picky platforms. I installed the attached patch to undo that
change. Although lisp.lh really does need a better API for integer
conversion (and I'll volunteer to review/help if someone wants to work
on that!), INTEGER_TO_INT is not a step in the right direction; we need
something more general/accurate/whatever.
