Funny behaviour under 10.4.11

run this short script :

set c to "9998765432"
set r to c as real
set i to r as integer
log r
log i

I assumed that I will get an error message because the number is too big for an integer bu I got this report :
(*9.998765432E+9*)
(*2.147483647E+9*) 

I get

error "Can’t make 9.998765432E+9 into type integer." number -1700 from 9.998765432E+9 to integer
