  69      NUMER / DENOM is to be computed in infinite precision.  In
  70      other words, we should always truncate the quotient towards
  71      zero, never -infinity.  Machine division and remainer may
  72      work either way when one or both of NUMER or DENOM is
  73      negative.  If only one is negative and QUOT has been
  74      truncated towards -infinity, REM will have the same sign as
  75      DENOM and the opposite sign of NUMER; if both are negative
  76      and QUOT has been truncated towards -infinity, REM will be
  77      positive (will have the opposite sign of NUMER).  These are
  78      considered `wrong'.  If both are NUM and DENOM are positive,
  79      RESULT will always be positive.  This all boils down to: if
  80      NUMER >= 0, but REM < 0, we got the wrong answer.  In that
  81      case, to get the right answer, add 1 to QUOT and subtract
  82      DENOM from REM.  */
