Bug description

Full_Name: Christoph Bauer
Version: 3.07 beta 2
OS: Linux
Submission from: dialin-212-144-207-013.arcor-ip.net (212.144.207.13)

The manual describes the function "abs" as

"Return the absolute value of the argument."

This is not quite true:

    Objective Caml version 3.07+beta 2

abs min_int;;

• : int = -1073741824

IMO abs should throw a Failure exception or the manual should
point out this behavior.
