There is an error in the type conversion operators when converting
between negative integers of the same precision (by mistake!):

   VAL INT a IS -42 (INT):
   VAL INT b IS INT a:  -- error: "-42 is not a 32-bit integer" !!!

The following conversions fail for negative numbers:

   INT   --> INT
   INT16 --> INT16
   INT32 --> INT32

All other conbinations work correctly.
