I finally had the time to look into the failures.

Our mul_with_check doesn’t properly detect the overflow on a multiplication
like (380536542838076625 * 576687883419648000) printNl. The result is
negative. I don’t have a fix yet but that is easy now. We need to review the
other routines with an overflow check too. We run the tests on travis-ci so
I wonder how intmax_t is different between  BSD and GNU.
