In the other message that I posted at almost the same time than this one,
there is a test in which I didn't allocate any memory at all.
If I didn't make a mistake somewhere in that test, it looks as if it
simply isn't possible, to pass a value bigger than  power(2,31) - 1
as argument to a routine in the DLL (without using E_ATOM etc.,
of course).

Maybe you didn't pass any value bigger than power(2,31) - 1
as argument to a routine in the DLL?

I hope, we will solve this puzzle.
