As you may have suspected, the ic library has a bug here that limits
the constant in the disequality constraint to the machine's word size.

You can work around by writing this as

     suspend:(A #\= 2147483648)


As a more general observation: you will never get any kind of
efficiency if you are using discrete domains of this size.
You really need to rethink your problem modelling.
