Interesting behavior of the installer (cosmetic) on 14.0-RC3

Interesting behavior of the installer (cosmetic) on 14.0-RC3: number of files read seems to report random large numbers (positive and negative). It doesn't seem to affect the installation. Install media is FreeBSD-14.0-RC3-i386-disc1.iso on a i386 architecture within VMWare Player 16.

Probably due to a simple calculation. Divide a number with a really, really small one, close to zero, and you get a very large result. And negative result caused by a signed integer overflow?
 
Probably a 32 bit overflow. It doesn't appear on the amd64 architecture: install media in this screenshot is FreeBSD-14.0-RC3-amd64-disc1.iso on an amd64 architecture in VMWare Player 16.
