4653896912 is bigger than can be represented as a signed-int on a 32-bit
platform, so gets truncated to 358929616. And (358929616 >> 13) == 43814.

However, 4653896912 can be represented as a signed-int on a 64-bit
platform, giving the "correct" answer of 568102.


[NOTE: I haven't checked this to see if it's right though...]
