Right, I was caught a few times too by this kind of failures on v7 :D

... but this 32bit issue makes me wonder what to do in such a case...

...I mean, on 32bit if the calculated freq oveflows, there is just
nothing we can do on v7 without overcomplicating the code...but I suppose
it is unplausible to have such high freq on a v7... as a palliative I can
only think of some sort of overflow check (only on v7) that could trigger
a warning ... but it is hardly worth the effort probably..

Thanks,
Cristian
