Ok, this went on deaf ears... to illustrate, do the following:

------------------------- example.c ---------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

enum AAA
{
  a = 0x1,
  b = 0xFFFFFFFF,  /* If this is > LONG_MAX we core dump */
};

int
main ()
{
  unsigned int x = a;
  printf ("x = 0x%x\n", x);
}
----------------------- end example.c -------------------------

% gcc -g example.c -o example
% gdb -nw example
(gdb) print a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
