	3993	unsigned long value returned from int %s().

Arithmetic type - Implicit conversions

An expression of type unsigned long is being implicitly converted to type signed int. A conversion of this type is dangerous because the value may not be representable in this signed type.

Implicit type conversions of this nature can occur in the context of:

initializations
assignment operations
the passing of a function argument
the return of a value from a function
