/*
 * subbig -- subtract one bignum from another.
 *
 * What this does is it negates each coefficient of a copy of the bignum
 * which is just pushed on the stack for convenience.  This may give rise
 * to a bignum which is not in canonical form, but is nonetheless a repre
 * sentation of a bignum.  Addbig then adds it to a bignum, and produces
 * a result in canonical form.
