Ok, well I'll let the pic guys figure it out.  The definition of  
__MAX_INT__ etc was completely wrong, so I think there are other  
issues at work here.  They also live in a world defined by pragmatics,  
I don't know that they really care what the standard says so long as  
they get decent perf/size on their device.
