Doing a dump of a data structure containing some Math::BigRat numers, one of them came out as: 

Math::BigRat->new(1571564245790041077296625940243395969525186964287593

When I eval (or do) this file (with Math::BigRat loaded of course), it fails silently. When I remove this line, it succeeds.

Any ideas?

PS: This is rather annoying as this data appears in the audit logs and causes my log audit tools to fail silently. I can't have corrupt data appearing in my logs and, BTW, this isn't even corrupt data, really.
