The results will be very different in a 64-bit program :)

The general point is that the NSLog is irrelevant. You are testing
that an unsigned variable is >= 0. An unsigned variable is *always*
>=0 ... it's *unsigned*. This is the reason that your loop isn't
performing to your expectations; it's doing what you said, not what
you meant :).
