Pavel, this is old/unchanged code and not yet reworked (as You can see). It is
not reworked by purpose since too many places reworked at a time is no good
idea, You just lose control (and it's too much code in OOo anyways).

The old list classes are based on those 'IMPL_/DECL_* macro stuff which
internally uses 32Bit values, they nearly always use the 32bit Max values for
some info/comparisons (sometimes even the MAX-1, MAX-2 values, be warned). I
would prefer to find a way to let the old stuff just live untouched for security
reasons.

I know, 64bit would be better for that lists, and i would love to have it, but -
as can be seen with the comparisons - changing that is not possible since
unpredictable and highly dangerous. Those old lists are still used in many core
functionalities like ItemSets (as just one example).

The only safe way to change this from my point of view is to keep that stuff on
32bit values. It will be reworked over time, but not during the 64bit changes.
It's a job for Years.

So i would recommend to change the comparing part of the comparisons to 32bit,
too, for the time those old lists are used and keep the comparisons practically
unchanged for now.

HTH.
