From: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.com>

This avoids dealing with conversion warnings inside
the function. Since we only add values that are
supposed to be positive this should be safe.

Note that we now cast the return value to int at
the caller side. There we actually substract it and
want to catch the case where the result gets negative.
Since all the involved values are quite small compared
to INT_MAX I decided to just cast it without further
checks.
