What's wrong with Perl? :) Okay, so there's plenty wrong with Perl, but I think it's a decent tool for the job. I wrote a quick Perl version, though it only works properly on 64-bit platforms (reports an integer overflow otherwise). It wouldn't be too hard to work around this if it's an issue (since for a given function the upper 32 bits should presumably be invariant), in fact the same workaround could probably be done in the awk script. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~matthewc/files/unwcheck.pl Python seems to handle big numbers better but I don't really know enough Python.
