>Summary: wait call in while loop generate "bignum too big to convert
into long" error
Initial Comment:
I put the following in a test.rb file. This code comes with the source of
Changejournal.

**************************************************
require "win32/changejournal"
include Win32

# Indefinitely wait for a change in ''C:\'' and any of its
# subdirectories. Print the file and action affected.

cj = ChangeJournal.new(''C:\'')

# A ChangeJournal server :)
cj.wait{ |array|
array.each{ |info|
p info.file_name
p info.action
p info.path
}
} while true
**********************************************

the script will run for a while, then quit with the following error

test.rb:10:in `wait'': bignum too big to convert into `long
long'' (RangeError) from test.rb:10

my pc is XP, sp2, with ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12)

I downloaded the changejournal-0.3.1.so file, renamed it changejournal.so, and
drop it in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt\win32.

Message:
I think instead of doing another release of this as a C extension,
we''ll convert it to pure Ruby. I''ve already started on it, and
there''s an (incomplete) version in CVS.

I''ll keep this bug open until it''s released, however.

I guess the macro NUM2LL should be NUM2ULL in changejournal.h.
