fortran Int64 Integer too big

I am trying to set an integer using Integer(int64) and having a problem setting to. When I call huge, I get 9223372036854775807. But when I try to set 4807526976 which should be within range I do get a compile error.

 Integer (Int64) :: i

  Write (*,*) huge (i)
 i = 4807526976
 Write (*,*) "i: ", i

Compiler is giving me 

Error: Integer too big for its kind at (1).

int64 is not the the default kind for integers. When evaluating the RHS of the assignment, the compiler tries to use the default integer kind for 4807526976 end (consequently) issues the warning.

Specifying the kind manually

i = 4807526976_int64

works like a charm. BTW: ifort seems to be intelligent enough to correctly chose the kind on its own ;-)
