OpenBSD test failures in t/src/extend_vtable.t

Tests 70 and 71 in t/src/extend_vtable.t are failing for me in
OpenBSD/i386.
At a quick glance, it looks like both tests are wrong. They both do
something like this:
integer = (Parrot_Int) Parrot_PMC_get_pointer(interp, pmc);
if (integer > 0)
Parrot_printf(interp,"Got pointer!\n", integer);
Is there any reason to assume that an arbitrary pointer cast
to a (Parrot_Int) will be positive? I'd think a simple test that the
pointer is non-NULL would be sufficient and appropriate. That is, I'd
have been tempted to write it:
void *ptr;
ptr = Parrot_PMC_get_pointer(interp, pmc);
if (ptr)
Parrot_printf(interp,"Got pointer!\n");
But perhaps there's more to the story.
