I have seen kernel objects with a higher value.  Not necessary HANDLE,
though.

Nope.  Almost all 64 bit Unix systems implement the LP64 data model
where a "long" and all pointers are 64 bit.  Windows however uses LLP64
where only "long long" and pointers are 64 bit.  Further, file
descriptors on Unix are always a 32 bit "int" but on 64 bit Windows the
kernel objects resembling file descriptors are all pointers and thus 64
bit.  On 32 bit Windows pointers have the same size an "int" and thus we
can represent them using an int and convert them using atoi.

Thanks.
