I read the "patch submission checklist" in the FAQ on the website as meaning 
it was necessary to attach a sample for any bugfix; my apologies if I 
misunderstood.

You have your bitshifts the wrong way around, but yes, this works; the  
downsides are slightly reduced readability (and a compiler warning to go with 
this), but it shortens the code and presumably increases performance; I took 
the approach I did in order to fix the problem with the minimum of changes to 
existing code as per the FAQ, but I prefer this way. Attached is a patch to 
do it as you suggest.
