Anything else?

Can be fixed by changing line 174 at toHex.js from
else maxValue = 2n ** (BigInt(size) * 8n) - 1n
to
else maxValue = BigInt(2 ** (size * 8) - 1);

This seems to happen due to the way the bundler treats bigint values according to the browserslist. While the proposed solution does fix it for that exact case, there could be other cases where we may perform operations on those values (ie. maxValue ** BigInt(2)) which would break.

The recommended solution would be to modify the browserslist to filter out very old browsers like IE and ancient Android browsers: hirosystems/stacks.js#1096 (comment)
