Integers conversions

[Zdenek Prikryl]

Hi,
the following situation is a little bit confusing. Let's assume
following situation:

mpz_t mp;
mpz_init_set_ui(mp, 0xffffffffU);
printf("s %x, u %x, s %s\n", mpz_get_ui(mp),
                             mpz_get_si(mp),
                             mpz_get_str(NULL, 16, mp));

I'd expect that all print outs will be the same (i.e. 0xffffffff). But
the real situation is different and the output is:

s ffffffff, u 7fffffff, s ffffffff

Why the mpz_get_si() returns wrong value? It should return -1 (0xffffffff)?
