Thanks - that's what I ended up doing. I find it more than a little
annoying that the engine doesn't give me a warning on an integer
overflow, but happily gives me the wrong answer. More annoying is the
fact that I put an "answer the result" step in there to see if an
error message was returned, and the result *has the right sum*. But if
I store it in a variable the variable has the wrong one. Anyway, I've
got something that works for me now, I just have to do long addition
by hand.
