In Lua 4.0, there's no tag method for equality of userdata. Userdata compare
equal only if they are the same object. In your example, a and b are different
Lua objects, even though they represent the same Big number.
Lua 5.0 will have a metamethod for equality.
Also, thanks for Bcompare. I'll add it to the MAPM binding (and perhaps some
other functions) when I release it for Lua 5.0.
