Precisely. This is what breaks. It's clearly the incorrect solution. What I suggested is the right solution. It's just the execution that is the problem. Speaking of executions, we should restart the schedule at dawn, if not before, starting with the people who came up with stdint.h in the first place. I'll change the test to look for INTMAX_MAX now, as soon as I check the standard to ensure this *must* be defined in stdint.h. I relied on some idiot on the interwebs who said you are supposed to check for UINT32_MIN, the only one that isn't defined. Someone else said that should be UINT32_MAX. They were wrong too....
