Ah, right.  I also thought about that first but than started worrying
that it could produce unnecessary zeros if the loop iterates at least
once and exits with r being zero, but now I see that this cannot happen
since if the loop condition was true, r >= 10000 and it has been divided
by 10000 in the loop so now it's at least 1.
