Shell Programming and Scripting

If I convert 128.0.0.0 to decimal the result is 2,147,483,648 which exceeds the maximum 32-bit signed integer value for variables 2,147,483,647 declared as integers. So it's clear now why the script that uses the native lshift, rshift, or bitwise operations is causing an awk segmentation fault with IP's greater than 128.0.0.0 and the script that uses the custom bit_lshift, bit_rshift, bit_or bitwise operations doesn't.

End of a long story =(
