Title: Why won't my 11/23 do long division?

I compiled some code with the Ritchie C compiler to run on an 11/23.
There was one long division in the code and I found that the LSWord
of the dividend was being ignored (treated as zero) for a particluar
range of MSWords.

I decided writing a quick long division routine in C was a faster
solution than debugging ldiv().  Anyone know why ldiv() should fail
on an 11/23???
