That feels particularly bad if language implementations happen to re-use temporary PMCs. (As perl re-uses temporary SVs in a subroutine's pad) As what you get may depend on a previous caller's values. I can't really see how you can rotate a bignum that doesn't have a width already associated with it. Nicholas Clark
