That's good news - something that's my fault is much easier for me
to fix... =)

IIRC the problem was actually with Math::BigInt - i didn't read into
details, but LTJake (BRICAS) helped me out after I submitted this
Abug:

	http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=16066

By pointing me to this one:

	http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=15895

Which has a work around.

LTjake said he experienced the same issues so I dismissed the issue
as "not my problem" and moved on.

I tried playing with that (there was funkyness), but it didn't seem
to help.

After applying LTjake's changes it didn't work either, but then he
mentioned that I should use version 1 and it did work.

Perhaps you can provide some insight?

That slipped the testing due to a change in User::Hash that
happenned before this code was added - i thought it was covered but
it turns out it wasn't... ningu already fixed it and we released
0.02 with a fixed .pm and a fixed test suite.

Thanks!
