--- Comment #3 from Dominik Stadler <do...@gmx.at> ---
I think the negative value results from interpreting an unsigned int as signed
int, i.e. the unsigned int has a larger positive range than what int can hold,
so very large unsigned ints will lead to negative signed int values when a cast
is used. to correctly handle large unsigned ints, you need to use a long
datatype.

However I assume something with the document is not quite right here as I don't
think the section size really holds such large values in your document, or?

However for now without a sample document we are not able to investigate here,
therefore I am setting this to LATER for now, please reopen this with a sample
document and the steps to reproduce the problem, ideally as self-sufficient
unit test.
