That was a problem related to LargeInteger, not Float. I think this is
a completely different issue.

(The LargeIntegerPlugin part of that other problem is fixed, and the
#printOn: part of the repair is approved though not yet released, see
  "[BUG][FIX] Integer>>printOn:base: fix prevents VM crash" in BFAV.)
