Network link - range is reported as negative number

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Regarding [lookatRange] parameter passed to URLs in <viewFormat>

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Zoom out to 21,474,836m or less and the range is reported correctly.
2. Zoom out to 21,474,837m or more and the range is reported as a negative 
number.  Most often, the number in the query string is -21474836.48, 
regardless of what the actual range is. However, other values, such as -
17462726.93, -18273690.43, etc 
are also seen.

Here is a sample query string 

RequestID=49381x05084956&BBOX=-180,-53.46304096718441,180,90,-
39.99999999999991,25.00000000000011,-21474836.48,0,0

corresponding viewformat is 
<viewFormat>BBOX=[bboxWest],[bboxSouth],[bboxEast],[bboxNorth],[lookatLon],
[lookatLat],[lookatRange],[lookatTilt],[lookatHeading]</viewFormat>

What is the expected output or behavior? What do you see instead?
The range should be reported correctly out the the maximum value, which is 
61,414,060m

What version of the plug-in are you using? On what operating system? In 
which browser?
Using native Google Earth, version 4.3.7284.3916 (beta).  Web server is 
running IIS7.

Please provide any additional information (code snippets/links) below.
