I'm 90% sure these are all 32 bit integers in the code. It's also possible
that there is not much overflow checking until a logical error is
encountered.
What do you specifically have to gain from running so many steps at once? I
can't imagine such a procedure is robust on most hardware.
Firsttimestep is also just a bookkeeping device and doesn't impact output
beyond simple mod operations for flagging output.
