Subject: Good integer overflow papers?

Hello SecProg debaters!

I'm looking for a good paper on integer overflows. I would like to see
some code examples and some guidelines on how to remedy the problem.
    Blexim's paper "Basic Integer Overflows" provides code examples but
quite a few simply don't work the way he explains due to implicit
type-casting in C. Michael Howard from Microsoft has also written about
integer overflows in "Reviewing Code for Integer Manipulation
Vulnerabilities". Apart from these papers, any suggestions?

    Best regards, John Wilander
