A string doesn't equal itself

[J. Landman Gay]

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but Mark Waddingham has just 
commented on the bug I submitted for this. He verifies what we've been 
discussing -- it's an overflow problem due to interpreting the string as 
a number -- and says he thinks its a bug. It is targeted to be fixed for 
the next dp release.

The fix involves doing a string comparison rather then a numeric 
comparison if either operand overflows. The bug number is 4651 if anyone 
is curious.

BTW, I'm very pleased with how quickly bugs are being addressed these 
days. I've entered a few over the last week or so and they've all been 
attended to promptly. If anyone has an issue that they haven't yet 
entered into the bug database, I'd say now is a great time to do it. 
They're combing through there at a pretty good clip.
