OK I was able to reproduce this easily by just saying PPTT doesn't exist
on my system. Not sure if my recent changes made this issue show up easily
or it existed even w/o my changes but it is stupid issue :(.

Can you check if this fixes it for you ? I can post the patch once
you confirm. We assign negative/error value to unsigned int and then
the number of leaves ends up with that value because of wrong comparison.
