(Is 0x7ffffffff a typo for 0x7fffffff?)

Ref: http://download.intel.com/products/processor/manual/325462.pdf

chapter 3.2, 'and' instruction description:

"RAX AND imm32 signextended to 64-bits."

Ditto for OR.

andq and orq take 32-bit immediate values (and sign extend them to 64-bit)which
implies that the valid range is 0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF. I fail to understand how
0xFFFFFF00 is out-of-range.

Although not a standard reference, I would also like to cite that microsoft
assembler does assemble the above instruction without error.

I think the bug is valid.
