Description

This line has an integer overflow on 32-bit machines, causing tests to fail.

cf https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/18741

Probably a good idea to switch on Appveyor, as that seems to be the most reliable way to test 32-bit builds

Research direction

Start with the linked line in test/test_sorted_containers.jl around line 403 and review the related Julia issue for the 32-bit overflow context. Then inspect the repository's Appveyor configuration or CI entry points to determine how 32-bit testing is handled. Done means the affected tests pass on a 32-bit build and the test configuration covers that environment.
