It doesn't change run time at all if you leave it as unsigned long.
I don't know if there are static checkers which care, but if there are
then those checkers are wrong.  It's nicer to not have the unnecesary
cast.

Also in the original code the type was int so the negative bit would
have been sign extended if we cast it to unsigned long.
