   Both our guesses were wrong, and Scott (I think) was on the right   
   track - this is a signed / unsigned issue.  A reduced test case is   
      
   void bar(unsigned long, long);   
      
   void foo(unsigned long u1)   
   {   
     long u3;   
     u1 = u1 / 10;   
     u3 = u1 % 10;   
     bar(u1,u3);   
   }   
      
   This is now https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122911 .
