What is k0seg?
How can I see that it's not one?

Just to be clear the values given to lca_read_config were:
b=0, s=20, f=0, reg=0, width=4
That means b in LCA_CFGOFF is false and the second formular will be applied.
The first part is 1<<n while n is calculated to be 31 in our case and
this makes -1 for int - your theory seems to be right.
But are you shure that changing our variables to unsigned will help?
Don't we need to make '1' unsigned?

I will test it tommorow.
