Hy everybody,

if I use round function with numbers bigger than 2147483648 (at least
in my PC running linux) I got
> round(2147483648)
[1] -2147483648
>

trunc, floor and ceiling work fine
> trunc(2147483648)
[1] 2147483648
> ceiling(2147483648)
[1] 2147483648
> floor(2147483648)
[1] 2147483648
>

Is this a bug? If not, I suggest that round give back NA or NaN in these
cases.

best,
Claudio Agostinelli
