I cannot give a specific example, but I can paint a general
scenario: some data used with C is copied to ocaml (as text).
For example 0xFFFFFFFF is too large .. but in C it converts to -1
which is not too large :-)
Having given this example .. I have to say 'too bad', I think
your inclination is correct. [Whatever program extracted the
data from C should have handled this]
