Marcin:

As I mentioned in 46557, I'm not convinced that the problem is hardware.  It
could easily be some widening bug in C code.  It smells like sign-extension of
a 32 bit quantity that should be zero-extended.  But it could be the truncation
of a wider-than-32-bit quantity to 32 bits.  And, of course, it could be
hardware.

Why would the 32-bit Linux have no trouble with the identical hardware?
