Nothing wrong -- although it seems obvious UINT2NUM() is the right thing
to do I was not qualified to say so...

... as I did not find this description when browsing the search results
(now this was in the first search result -- sometimes one just doesn't
get the right search terms in place)...

Cannot confirm for sure -- I found references to UINT2NUM() and ruby
1.8.6...

.. anyway UINT2FIX() doesn't work and UINT2NUM() works with very high
probablility I'd say lets get this pushed.
