As Yutaka Oiwa said, it comes from the conversion from Caml 31-bit
integers to C 32-bit integers, which performs sign extension.

Even though 0x40000000 and 0xC0000000 denote the same Caml int, I
agree this behavior is very surprising and should be fixed.  I'll look
into this.  Thanks for reporting the issue.
