    Description

      This method should throw IllegalArgumentException but:
      - throws ArithmeticException for radix=0
      - hangs for radix=1 or radix<0
      - returns empty string for radix>Character.MAX_RADIX
       
      ==== For example: the following program hangs ====
      import java.lang.Bignum;
      class java_lang_Bignum_toString {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
           Bignum b=new Bignum(1);
           System.out.println(b.toString(1));
        }
      }
