Did that: 
java/7833: Problem multiplying int and long when int is too small for result

Another funny thing:
public class hello
{
    final static long a = 1000000000;
    final static long b = 1000 * a;
    final static long c = 1000L * a;

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("a = " + a);
        System.out.println("b = " + b);
        System.out.println("c = " + c);
    }
}

prints:
a = 1000000000
b = -727379968
c = 0xe8d4a51000

The hex output is strange...

Thanks 
Martin.
