the main point is that the lexer only returns signed integers, while it 
should return both signed and unsigned integers
therefore this code was left to handle possibly unsigned:s from 
0x80000000 up to 0xfffffffff (which current code doesn't)
the proper fix would be to fix the lexer to return both signed and 
unsigned integers

for example:
WineDbg> p 0x80000000
-2147483648
while it should be
2147483648

A+
