I still have a workspace containing OG's code for dumping
bignums. I had to remove one bit of type-checking he had.
It used the comma operator, but every C compiler I used
warned about that construct, and
g++ couldn't digest it at all.
It looks like that workspace is slightly bitrotted. I'll
work on it over the next couple of days and commit it.
OK, barring any complaints I'm going to turn on pdump by default on all
platforms; with no further problems we can consider nuking the old code in a
few months.
