According to Refman.doc, and I quote:
"type integer must be atoms with integer values
from -1073741824 to +1073741823 inclusive."

Thus, the largest value testnum2 can be is:
testnum2 = #3FFFFFFF

Hope this clarification helps. Obviously, this limitation is
related to the attempt to use #FFFFFFFF as equivalent to -1.
