I probably phrased it poorly in my other reply: the confusing part (to 
me) is adjusting "start". Maybe we should have unsigned long start,end,cur;

Maybe we should really split the "fix" from the cleanups, and tag the 
fix with a Fixes:.

I was wondering if these functions could be simplified a bit. But the 
overflow handling is a bit nasty.
