From @AlexDaniel

Some tests in S32-num/power.t are assuming that big int exponents should result in Inf. This, however, is not true anymore. It should throw X​::Numeric​::Exception (it is already so on moar).

Code​:
my $big-e = 4553535345364535345634543534;
say 2 ** $big-e

Result​:
Inf

Expected result​:
X​::Numeric​::Exception thrown.

See Raku/roast#96 for more info.
