No I mean it's only been tested on a machine with a 32-bit registers.  It's 
the integer manipulations I want to double check - there are some 
expressions which could conceivably be optimized in a way that would fail if 
64-bit registers are used - I believe they shouldn't do so if the standard 
is strictly followed - but sometimes compilers can play a bit fast-and-loose 
when optimizations are turned on.  If necessary I have a fallback, but let's 
see if there's an issue first.
