Turned out this was caused by a bug in AppleScript, whereas
set someVar to ("0" as double integer)
will set someVar to the highest possible value - yet
set someVar to ("0" as double integer)
say someVar
would set someVar to 0. Odd.
The version now available through Online Updater works around the
problem.
