Hi,

The NEWS file (as displayed by C-h n) talks about 62 bits integers
instead of 64 bits:

** There is a new configure option --with-wide-int.
With it, Emacs integers typically have 62 bits, even on 32-bit machines.

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0)
 of 2011-08-22 on dfontaine-laptop, modified by Debian
 (emacs-snapshot package, version 1:20110821-1+ubuntu1)

Regards,

NEWS is correct: it's 62 bits out of 64.  Please note it's talking
about _Emacs_ integers, not just integers.

Closing the bug.
