I'm betting that AppleScript is pointing to a 32 bit integer where the 9 is stored and whatever 32 bit word happens to follow. The 64 bit concatenation is being treated as a float.
That would explain the large negative exponents. The 11 bit characteristic part of the float is zero.
It might have to do with Apple's insistence that something like 2^29 is an arbitrary size limit for integers.
Where are class float, class integer, class complex and the like?
