Presumably it's simply warning that the value -4294901760 (i.e. the
result of 3 - 4294901763) cannot be faithfully represented as an
unsigned int. This is true, of course. It's just not relevant.

I'm pretty sure that UBSan does not actually state that this is
undefined behavior. At least Ranier's sample output didn't seem to
indicate it.
