"v_min" is relatively close to zero on a number line so this can't
overflow.  There is no way that this change affects anything at runtime
(except making the code a tiny tiny bit slower).

And it should be 65536LL for 32 bit systems?

But I just don't see the point of this change.  Presumably it is to make
a static analyzer happy?
