Comment # 5 on bug 9162 from Hadriel Kaplan

This is now an old bug and closed as not a bug, but just to be clear - Lua
should NOT "halt" simply because it reached a 64-bit integer limit.  Nor does
it appear to have done that in this case.  The script itself was bogus, and
using a Userdata instead of a number.  Lua does indeed only treat numbers using
doubles, and thus loses precision when the number exceeds ~53 bits or so.  But
it can keep counting up to very huge numbers - just not by steps of 1. 
Obviously for protocol purposes we need real 64-bit numbers as well.
