+1 on what he said.

It shouldn't matter; both the Fortran module and mpif.h interfaces are the same.

We might be doing something wrong internally; we'll need to dig into it. George has told me in the past that our internal datatype engine is 64-bit internally, so it should be capable of doing this stuff right. Perhaps we're doing an intermediate multiplication and truncating it somewhere, as Jed mentioned earlier.
I took the liberty of adding Brian to the CC of the ticket.
