If the size of the integer (unsigned n) is bigger than 32 in snto32(), shift exponent will be too large for 32-bit type 'int', resulting in a shift-out-of-bounds bug. Fix this by adding a check on the size of the integer (unsigned n) in snto32(). To add support for n greater than 32 bits, set n to 32, if n is greater than 32.
