According to CRuby manual, Fixnum#bit_length returns "the bit position of the highest bit which is different to the sign bit". In other words, check 0 bit position for negative numbers.

In JRuby implementation it returns 64 - Long.numberOfLeadingZeros(value).

Long.numberOfLeadingZeros(value) returns 0 if value is negative, so the value is fixed to 64 in the cases.
