It turned out the protocol I am doing is implented in strings, so no 
problems anymore...

What is the strange value?  Are you sure you're in range for
REBOL integers (-2147483648 <= value <= 2147483647)?

[REBOL] Re: long unsigned

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?
