Comment:

 It even failed for negative or zero bases.  Turns out the original C
 assert was wrong too since bignum_destructive_scale_up can only deal with
 numbers strictly *smaller* than BIGNUM_RADIX_ROOT. I've added a check so
 that it throws a "bad base" exception when you pass in a base that's
 smaller than 1 or larger/equal to BIGNUM_RADIX_ROOT.

 It's fixed in numbers trunk, changeset [24227]
