Arggg!! It took me a day to track this bug down.
--------------------------
lucid> (bit-ior #*0110000001100101 #*0001100000000010)
#*0000000000000000
--------------------------
It seems that some of the other bit operators are
also buggy on "long" arguments.
The compiler is Lucid/Sun 3.0.0.
I hope version 4.0 fixes this. In the mean time, here is a patch that
also fixes the Lucid's "(make-random-state t)" bug:

These problems have been fixed and there are patches
available. To get these patches please contact SUN customer support.
