Ran into this issue on a stable/10 box at work and found
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2011-March/034600.html

I'd be interested in knowing how other are fixing this in-house (at
$work).

One suggestion I had was to raise it from int to long but that
apparently may have performance impact as these routines get called a
lot and needs to be profiled.

Making them (at least) unsigned is a good first step.

Cheers,
Hiren
