What did you expect Emacs to do?

Since we already do better than that on the master branch (including signal an overflow error when even a bignum cannot represent the result), I think this bug is already solved and should be closed. > A helpful place to explain the versioning policy would be a file in the emacs/etc directory. > > Version 26 means stable, 27 means unstable is my guess. We don't have stable and unstable releases. We have a release branch and a development branch, and their roles are described in CONTRIBUTE.
