I prefer this patch (which I think you originally proposed) because it 
is just as
correct and the code size is a bit smaller in arm mode, and the same 
size in thumb
mode (on my compiler gcc 4.7.2, at least).  I coded the loop in that way 
to make it
small.

I don't mind submitting it to David as I made the mistake in the first 
place.

Leigh.
