i take it back. it goes wrong earlier than that, in lex.c
where it does mark it as ulong, but only after encouraging
convvtox to force it negative in the underlying vlong.

the compiler correctly marks it as unsigned int and uses the
correct shift operator and types in the resulting tree, but it goes wrong
a bit later.

eh?  it most certainly _can_ be represented as an int
if your machine has 32 bit ints.  all the world's a vax :)
until you hit the stupidity digital did with compiler
for the alpha.  int was always >= 16 bits and intended to
be the native machine 'word' size.
