Which OS and which compiler are you on? Does it use LP64, ILP64, LLP64.
etc? See:

If that fixes it, then I'm guessing that on your system int and long are
a different size. Probably Linux or Mac OS X?
You seem to have found a genuine overflow, but casting to long is not
the best fix, since in an LLP64 system both are 32 bit.

I have looked briefly at the state of VTK wrt 64 bit, and in my opinion
there is a lot of work to be done. How to fix it completely? I don't
know how much kitware has investigated the whole thing, but maybe
something should be started here:
