Right, you are, and the tool is ;-)

If @bit is greater than 32, we even got an undefined behavior in C ;-(
This is my careless mistake, thank you for finding it out and fix it!

I think Paul only queued that for running tests and I have almost
finished a v2. I will fold your fix in my patch and add your SoB along
with mine, does that work for you?

TBH, this situation is kinda new to me, so if anyone has any suggestion,
please let me know ;-)
