d) All BigInteger constructors ensure that the bit length is no larger than 2^31 - 1; d) is arguably the most correct approach to address the problem. However, I think the practical consequences of this flaw are low. Nevertheless, may I use this unimportant flaw as a lesson of Java bug fixing ?
No fix for the bug has yet been offered.
You're independently rediscovered a bug that has been in the platform for about 12 years.
