Any exponent between 50 and 59 causes the error - anything lower or higher
compiles fine.

The low edge is 10**15, whether expressed as 10**X or all digits.

The low edge is 10**15, whether expressed as 10**X or all digits.
The high edge is 2**60, whether expressed as 2**X or all digits.
Strange that the low and high edges are not both powers of 10 or both powers of 2.

From @usev6

This works on MoarVM and JVM. I added a test to S02-types/native.t with commit Raku/roast@1a72d75.

Since support for Parrot was suspended with Rakudo Star Release 2015.02, I'm closing this "parrot only" ticket.

I'll add the ticket to a list of closed ticket living in the mu repository​: https://github.com/perl6/mu/blob/master/misc/rt.perl.org/tickets_closed_parrot_only.txt.

In case support for Parrot will be restored in some future release the listed tickets can be checked and re-opened as appropriate.
