This error comes originally from the CLN function cl_I_to_L() to convert
objects of class cl_I to 32-bit integers.  In GiNaC this happens when you
call the method numeric::to_int().

We could call it: "GiNaC ran out of spec here".  Don't know at the moment
how to fix it.  Please read on...

The archive file is somewhat strange.  I get:

higgsino:~/projects$ viewgar foobar.gar
The symbol = x
foobar.gar: class 'name' not registered

Is 'name' one of your classes?  What's going on here?  Can you just print
the expression and mail it as it seems to be quite small?
