BTW, I suspect that the reason there were no related test failures with the 
Intel compiler is that most of the problems in the Python code stem from 
multiplications rather than additions.  Probably icc isn't sophisticated enough 
to optimize those multiplication + division checks away.

Seems like we should probably be looking for an icc flag that forces wrapping 
on signed integer overflow.

In the long run, it would still be good to eliminate the need for fwrapv and 
the like;  it can have a significant performance hit (in theory;  haven't done 
any timings recently).
