There is a large class of bugs that can creep in due to the subtle change of interface from double-int to wide-int. These happen outside of the wide-int.[ch] code and seem statistically more likely by a large margin than bugs in wide-int.[ch]. The good news, resolving them is easy enough with side-by-side comparisons (say of dump files and .s files). Most of those fixes I’d expect to be trivial (for some definition of trivial).
