Not really - its all perl, there might be a perl pragma affecting this
but I don't know about it. In any case you are on the edge (or
possibly past the edge) of a complete overflow, so going unsigned only
gains you a little bit.

eximstats needs a rewrite, and that would need to either include moving
to a bignum format of some type or just logging kilobytes (which gives
you 10 bits more - still a hack, but one that buys a reasonable amount
of time).
