These are okay. In the vicinity of the conversion,
there is a runtime check to see if the value is too big to fit, and NC_ERANGE
will be returned at if there is a problem. The warnings can be eliminated by
appropriate casts.

Hmm, Can you send the complete output of nc_test?
What about nctest?
Does your code still have the short problem when linked against this version?
