Not quite....

#FFFFFFFF = 4294967295

Your "test" variable is 1 higher than 
the maximum 32-bit (unsigned) integer, 
so poke4() gives you an error.

To get the low-order 32-bits you could do:
    
       test = remainder(test, 4294967296)

which in this case is 0. In general you'll get
the low-order 32-bits, which is what a C program would
give you, since C doesn't worry about integer overflow.
