Thanks to a quick chat with Tim, who is always quick to grasp the meat
of the issue, we realize we need to & 0xffffffff all the 32 bit
unsigned ints we're reading out of the .mo files.  I'll work out a
patch, and check it in after a test on 32-bit Linux.  Watch for it,
and please try it out on your box.

Thanks,
