Right, I'll reinvestigate. But then, though my patches are wrong, it
means current code ain't right either, right?

Sorry, I meant something like assert().

Or what else would be a correct short-term fix? I understand that for
FRAC_BITS > 8 the whole code block needs more thinking, but seeing that
FRAC_BITS is currently defined to 8 - and I assume by purpose - let's do
an easy fix first, if possible.
