I  can't offer any help, but I too am seeing problems with lib.big.

System: Pyramid-9820
        OSx128MNQ 5.0b-891013 
	BSD universe.

	Compiled with perl's malloc:
	    mallocsrc='malloc.c'
	    mallocobj='malloc.o'
	    usemymalloc='y'

When running lib.big alone,I get the following:
    ok 55
    Bad free() ignored at ./lib.big line 14, <DATA> line 60.
    ok 56
    ...
    ok 217
    not ok 218
    # '&bmod('+5000000000','+9');' expected: '+5' got: '+4'
    ok 219
    not ok 220
    # '&bmod('+7000000000','+9');' expected: '+7' got: '+6'
    ok 221
