To clarify: the if-check above is intended to catch a shift by 32. But it
fails to do that on 64-bit platforms, as max_match_value is unsigned long,
and its size thus depends on the platform, while the CMT's register sizes
are fixed to 32-bit.
Hence please fix the real bug (abuse of unsigned long for 32-bit values all
over the place), instead of papering over it.
Thanks!
