Is that supposed to be 10 billion?  The maximum value for a sid is a

not range check the sid value so you will not get an error if it out of
bounds.  Try reducing the sid value down to a more reasonable number.

Thanks Andrew.  Never would have thought of that. :-)

I changed all the dmca sids to 1000000xx.  We'll see what happens.

Sure would be odd of it was overflowing and generating and integer value that exactly matched the value in a byte test rule, but then this is computers.......
