92 1) Is this safe? Will it catch all the zero bytes?
93 Suppose there is a byte with all zeros. Any carry bits
94 propagating from its left will fall into the hole at its
95 least significant bit and stop. Since there will be no
96 carry from its most significant bit, the LSB of the
97 byte to the left will be unchanged, and the zero will be
100 2) Is this worthwhile? Will it ignore everything except
101 zero bytes? Suppose every byte of LONGWORD has a bit set
102 somewhere. There will be a carry into bit 8. If bit 8
103 is set, this will carry into bit 16. If bit 8 is clear,
104 one of bits 9-15 must be set, so there will be a carry
105 into bit 16. Similarly, there will be a carry into bit
106 24. If one of bits 24-31 is set, there will be a carry
107 into bit 32 (=carry flag), so all of the hole bits will
110 3) But wait! Aren't we looking for C, not zero?
