RE: poke4 won't accept my 32bit values

Let's see...
#FFFFFFFF is a 4-byte integer value...
Hmm...
I tried doing this;
poke4(#A0000, {#FFFFFFFF,0})
and it works...
#FFFFFFFF = 429,496,729,5
so no problem there...

Two causes if you ask me;

poke4() is using a 31 bit integer as parameter, not a
32 bit one (As #FFFFFFFF =
11111111111111111111111111111111 in binary notation).

atom_to_float32(0.0) is screwing up memory...

PS. If I see the code I can find out the cause of the
error, but no doubt; poke4() is getting a value passed
to it bigger than it can poke. Sollution:
change 'poke4(pvCube+16,{#FFFFFFFF,0})' into
'poke(pvCube+16,{#FF,#FF,#FF,#FF})' ...
