Strange error

Dear All,

I got this strange and a bit frightening values for the
following calculation.

ncl 0> a=35280
ncl 1> print(a*192*96*4)
(0) -1693843456

I believe that this is because the limit for integer values is reached, but
should not NCL return an error or warning message for this.

; Making the numbers floats would give the right value.
;
; ncl 2> print(a*192*96*4.)
; (0) 2.601124e+09

I am using NCL version 4.2.0.a035 on a Linux machine.
