Not really:

# int_of_string "4611686018427387903";;
- : int = 4611686018427387903
# int_of_string "4611686018427387904";;
- : int = -4611686018427387904
# int_of_string "4611686018427387905";;
Exception: Failure "int_of_string".

The problem is just shifted to bigger numbers.  This problem arises
with all integer conversion functions, i.e. Int64.of_string,
Int32.of_string, Nativeint.of_string, int_of_string.

Markus
