..........
   Everyone has been missing another case where there is a problem:
   int /= unsigned; will do an integer divide instead of the correct
   unsigned divide.  This will result in a different value in some cases.
   For example:  (2^32-1)/2 will equal some large number if the division is
   done unsigned and 0 if the division is signed.  

   A slight variation of the previously posted fix will also fix this case.
