Actually, playing with CLN's CVS HEAD I found that cl_value_len is no longer 
limited to 32 bits; right now, on my machine, it results into 64 - 3 (the 

#if (cl_pointer_size == 64)
 #define cl_value_shift  32
#else
 #define cl_value_shift  (cl_tag_len+cl_tag_shift)
#endif 

that was present at least in CLN 1.1.11 has now been turned into 

#define cl_value_shift  (cl_tag_len+cl_tag_shift) 

so 

#define cl_value_len    (cl_pointer_size - cl_value_shift) 

now is 61 instead of 32). 

So I'm back to the above warning, i.e. that comparing (int(i) < (1UL << 61)) 
is always true and so forth. 

Cheers, p.
