Harmless perhaps, but it still should be fixed, so if you don't see any 
similar PR already I'd suggest sending one.

Has to do with certain variables being of one type but used as if it were 
another (e.g. int vs long) which on 64bit platforms as a band-aid 
gets "MSB-filled" with 0xf's to the proper size. So such warning pretty much 
means "fix your code".

HTH,
