Ah, that's probably what Niels meant too.

I'm not sure that masking will do anything that won't happen anyway.
Though masking to 15bits will prevent it from going negative, which
might be a wise option.

Or maybe the routine returning a short should actually check that the
int value is < 2^15 and return -1 if so?

Whoops.  I guess gcc thinks that's ok because it's close to C++?
