Actually, the master branch DOES exercise it.  And it passed without your
patch, because...

|       }                                                       \
| -      if (((AllowNeg) ? INT_MIN: INT_MAX) < n                     \
| +      if (((AllowNeg) ? -INT_MIN : INT_MAX) < n                   \

...n is unsigned.  -INT_MIN == INT_MIN on 2's complement machines (and ==
INT_MAX on 1's complement machines, if I remember correctly).  But whether
the int on the left is INT_MIN or INT_MAX, upon conversion to unsigned for
comparison with n on the right, it should result in the correct unsigned
version of INT_MAX or (unsigned)INT_MAX + 1, depending on whether the
machine is 2's complement.
