 {{{
 #!/usr/bin/env macruby
 n = 0x8C2CACEFCD8BBABA
 m = NSNumber.numberWithUnsignedLongLong n
 puts "%016X" % n
 puts "%016X" % m
 puts "%016X" % m.unsignedLongLongValue
 }}}

 Gives:

 {{{
 8C2CACEFCD8BBABA
 0C2CACEFCD8BBABA
 0C2CACEFCD8BBABA
 }}}

 I believe both signed and unsigned long longs are affected. The damage is
 always in the last (highest) byte. Some numbers (with a non-zero value in
 the 8th byte) still convert fine.
