   Arggg!! It took me a day to track this bug down.

   --------------------------
   lucid> (bit-ior #*0110000001100101 #*0001100000000010)
   #*0000000000000000
   --------------------------

   It seems that some of the other bit operators are
   also buggy on "long" arguments.


   The compiler is Lucid/Sun 3.0.0.

   I hope version 4.0 fixes this. In the mean time, here is a patch that
   also fixes the Lucid's "(make-random-state t)" bug:

	These problems have been fixed and there are patches
available. To get these patches please contact SUN customer support.

For those who are interested, on a SPARC with Lucid 3.0.2 the reult
is:

#<Simple-Bit-Vector 16 963E46>

which is ALL zeros.
