}True, but in fact it was, and 1<<32 and 1L<<32 produce the same results.

For those who might be interested:

Microsoft C (5.1) produced different results depending on the use of 16
or 32 bit integers, but at least one case would always produce a
non-zero result.  Turbo C 2.0 always produced 0's in all cases.
