The test suite assumes that long ints are 32 bits in size.  The code works 
properly, however.  The spec states that there is a type (usually unsigned) 
which represents the size of items - size_type.  The invalid value (also the 
largest possible value a container can hold) is generally done as (unsigned 
long int)(-1).  Yes, that assumes two's compliment math and makes the code 
unportable to machines which nobody else uses (correct me if I am wrong).

However, if you look at the actual test output, you will notice that you have 
lines which state:

Position of "q": 1844674407370955161 - should be 1844674407370955161

Notice that the two numbers match.  In short, the code works properly but the 
canned output is for 32bit machines.  I might work on this in the future, but 
this isn't a high priority.
