A fair bit of code was added to make conversions from unsigned to
floating types work right in the 4.3 BSD VAX C compiler, but
unfortunately conversions of unsigned constants were never tested.
That's the way the cookie bounces.
The fix is very simple. Change the following two lines in makety() in
the compiler source file lib/mip/trees.c:

Don't ask me why these casts were commented out (argh!),
