   I don't see where are you changing the type from u32 in this version of
patch -- this phrase seems to be copied from the 1st (internal) version...

   Seems to be the intended effect...

   Again, this phrase seems to be (mindlessly?) copied from the 1st
version... :-)

   Yes, that's what the patch below actually does! :-)

   The question is whether the hardware can actually return exp < -16 or > 15...
