Bignums are not representable in EXDR, so write_exdr should fail with
bignums, but on Linux and Solaris:

[eclipse 6]:
write_exdr(a,1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111).

yes.
[eclipse 7]: read_exdr(a,X).

X = 1281023894007607751
yes.
[eclipse 8]: 

It does fail correctly on Alpha Linux.
