  Thanks to all the people who've answered me so far.  The problem was I
was dividing a signed number by an unsigned number.  It promoted the
signed one to unsigned - making it MUCH larger.  I was using unsigned for
the divisor since I knew it would never be negative and I once had a case
where using unsigned rather than signed sped things up about 20%.  (of
course, this was in an inner loop, but it's a simple habit that I picked
up).
