There were a couple signedness bugs decrementing "i" which would lead to
a forever loops.
I've made a couple other variables signed as well because they are all
related array offsets and it would be weird if they weren't the same
type.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for the patch.
We are also trying to fix the issue:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/19/29
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/8/55
and the fix is finally in Greg's tty git tree since yesterday:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
(tty-linus branch).
Best regards,
Alexey

Good deal.
Btw, by the time that Fenguang's kbuild scripts emailed you, it was
already too late to send a v2 patch.
