I agree, but apparently, for what its worth, Java doesn't 
complain either:

class Test
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         long a = 3 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024;
         long b = 3 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L;

         assert(a < 0);
         assert(b > 0);
     }
}

$ javac test.java
$ java Test
$ (no error)

On the other hand, if this is fixed (err, improved?) then you 
have one more reason to say that D is better than Java ;-)
