[Shootout-list] sumcol - when the correct answer is wrong :-)

This is the sort of thing that Smalltalk advocates love!

The Smalltalk sumcol program is listed as failing.
100 copies of the input-file should sum to 50050000.
So 8000 should sum to 4004000000. 

That's actually the answer given by GNU Smalltalk.
All the "correct" programs give the wrong answer -290967296 (because we
are running them without runtime checks, because it's quicker).
