PLT Scheme 4.1 reports identical results. FWIW.
Actually, it's even more interesting than that: Mzscheme (command-line) produces that result, but DrScheme (GUI) produces (graphically, with a properly horizontal vinculum) 2 225179981368525/1125899906842624. Even more amusingly, that (above) is how the graphical result was translated to ascii by cut-and-paste operation. Neat! (Seems like an awful lot of effort to go to to avoid frightening the kiddies...)
Cheers,
