         SymMgr(context, BasicVals, alloc), MemMgr(context, alloc),
-        StateMgr(stateMgr), ArrayIndexTy(context.LongLongTy),
+        StateMgr(stateMgr), ArrayIndexTy(context.getSignedSizeType()),
         ArrayIndexWidth(context.getTypeSize(ArrayIndexTy)) {}

I don't think that's limited to 64-bit platforms, it applies to 32-bit ones as well. I know that LLVM has issues with indexing arrays that are larger than half of the address space in general due to limitations of GEP.
