This is bothering me.

I've seen some real "this is so embarrassing I should wear a brown
paper bag over my head" bugs:

(gdb) set input-radix 2
Input radix now set to decimal 4294967295, hex ffffffff, octal 37777777777.

Sorry if I make the author of that bug blush. My point is that this
happens in software, and that it's the job of the test suite to detect
when it happens.
