There seems to be an upper limit on the integers that can form the end
of a Range - 10^8 works but 10^9 doesn't. Furthermore I think the
error message this causes is rather misleading:

gap> Length([1..10^9]);
Error, Range: <high> must be an integer
gap> Length([10^9..10^9+1]);
Error, Range: <low> must be an integer
gap> IsInt(10^9);
true

I can't find any documentation on this - am I missing something?

Thanks,
Thomas Bending
