I did indeed not post a patch, since I do not know how this code
is used and how critical it is. And I still haven't bothered to look it
up.
So just a general comment, which might not make any sense
at all for the actual usage. If num can somehow be controlled by an
evil source, passing a large enough value or 0 now causes this
function to return equal. I have no idea if this causes any practical
issue.
Warnings / error wise, this seems fine, thanks!
Regards,
Jeroen
