I confirm this bug.
The fix is easy:

In file expr.c, function primary, look at the big switch statement
and search

case openpa:

here, casts are done. In this case, head and tail must be saved to local
copies and restored later.

because this was not done by c68, the definition 'long' was overwritten
by 'int' when the cast was performed.
C.v.W

This is fixed now and will be included in the next patch.
Since I regard this error as severe, the next patch will be submitted
very soon.
