the 4 byte shift is likely due to

SIZE_T -> ULONG_PTR -> unsigned __int3264

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc441980.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc230394.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg241169.aspx

2.2.1 __int3264

An alias that is resolved to either:

     An __int32 in a 32-bit translation and execution environment, or

     An __int64 in a 64-bit translation and execution environment. For 
backward compatibility, it is 32-bit on the wire. The higher 4 bytes 
MUST be truncated on the sender side during marshaling and MUST be 
extended appropriately (signed or unsigned), as specified in [C706] 
section 14.2.5, on the receiving side during unmarshaling.
