All we are doing is trying to create a new offset...
something between 0..INT32_MAX. Halfway is likely best,
but we are talking scales here that it makes no real
diff.

In any case, ((apr_uint32_t)1 << 31) is wrong.
Using <<30 would result in 1073741824 which is
what we would want, if we want midway.
