Interesting. Where I worked, a critical financial process kept on aborting flagging value "-2147483648" as bad. Unknown to me, 2 groups, including the people I work with, were baffled for at least a week. In a staff meeting (via on-line) someone brought it up. I said that value has a meaning, I will check and let you know. After a quick check I told them the data being processed had a value that was too large. The end result the data type was changed and all went well. This happened on a packaged ERP system the company was using. I am sure there will be many more of these little things that people these days takes for granted.
