I ran into something like this once before, and tracked it down to
using the roundup2() and rounddown2() macros from sys/param.h. In
particular, a mix of 32 and 64 bit types of different signedness
resulted in zero-extension instead of sign-extension of one of the
values, and that masked off significant bits, then a later subtraction
turned a result into a negative number.
