66 	 * negative and r.quot has been truncated towards -inf,
67 	 * r.rem will have the same sign as denom and the opposite
68 	 * sign of num; if both are negative and r.quot has been
69 	 * truncated towards -inf, r.rem will be positive (will
70 	 * have the opposite sign of num).  These are considered
71 	 * `wrong'.
72 	 *
73 	 * If both are num and denom are positive, r will always
74 	 * be positive.
75 	 *
76 	 * This all boils down to:
77 	 *	if num >= 0, but r.rem < 0, we got the wrong answer.
78 	 * In that case, to get the right answer, add 1 to r.quot and
79 	 * subtract denom from r.rem.
