Oops, wrong example: INTMAX is also 2147483647 on 64 bits. I mean IN.LONGMAX. IN.LONGMAX is always 9223372036854775807 on Linux, on 32 and 64 bits systems.

Given the issues you are mentioning, and given they were never reported in years before, it seems unlikely anybody is using these files.

+1 to remove them, as they don't seem documented either.

Antoine.
