     61 	 * 0, never -infinity.
     62 	 *
     63 	 * Machine division and remainer may work either way when
     64 	 * one or both of n or d is negative.  If only one is
     65 	 * negative and r.quot has been truncated towards -inf,
     66 	 * r.rem will have the same sign as denom and the opposite
     67 	 * sign of num; if both are negative and r.quot has been
     68 	 * truncated towards -inf, r.rem will be positive (will
     69 	 * have the opposite sign of num).  These are considered
     70 	 * `wrong'.
     71 	 *
     72 	 * If both are num and denom are positive, r will always
     73 	 * be positive.
     74 	 *
     75 	 * This all boils down to:
     76 	 *	if num >= 0, but r.rem < 0, we got the wrong answer.
     77 	 * In that case, to get the right answer, add 1 to r.quot and
     78 	 * subtract denom from r.rem.
