  64          * sign of num; if both are negative and r.quot has been
  65          * truncated towards -inf, r.rem will be positive (will
  66          * have the opposite sign of num).  These are considered

  72          * This all boils down to:
  73          *      if num >= 0, but r.rem < 0, we got the wrong answer.
  74          * In that case, to get the right answer, add 1 to r.quot and
  75          * subtract denom from r.rem.
