There is a nasty assert() being triggered by certain pieces of software.  We 
have certain situations where a subtraction creates a negative int which then 
becomes an unsigned int.

For those of you who do not speak C(++) that means something like -32 becomes 
64k - 32.  Rather than have X blow up we catch the bad request and die.  I 
have been slowly reducing the causes of this, just need to do some more 
testing.
