Try to make them sal_uInt64, as sal_uLong typedef'ed to sal_uIntPtr is
platform dependent and on Windows 32-bit is, well, 32-bit. If that still
fails try to make them volatile in case the compiler over-optimizes
things, or use double type.

Better use 64-bit 0x6A6CD5B765632D3A here is why: https://evil32.com/
