I think you hit the bit limit of a signed integer in rebol? Rebol has no unsigned integer as far as I remember.
Here's a few suggestions: 1) Send formatted as long signed, then get rebol to convert to decimal! on the server. 2) Send formatted as float or double. What is the "strange" value server receives?
