Indeed, the code says
/* ubig is the type that holds a large unsigned value */
typedef unsigned long ubig; /* must be >=32 bit unsigned
value */
#define BIG ULONG_MAX /* largest value will sieve */
and the documentation at [1] does not reflect that. Checking [2],
I don't see a problem report for this. Could you report this
upstream[3], ideally with some suggested improved wording?
Thanks,
Jonathan
