Constants are supposed to be (signed) 'int' by default, and 'long' if they
are too big to fit into an 'int'. An 'int' has to hold at least 32767
maximum and a 'long' has to handle at least 2147483647 maximum (as in
limits.h) for a compiler to be ANSI compliant.

So, his compiler is broken. I'd be tempted to try 65000U to get around
the problem, and also to be very suspicious of that particular compiler in
the future.
