     55 	 * have the opposite sign of num).  These are considered
     56 	 * `wrong'.
     57 	 *
     58 	 * If both are num and denom are positive, r will always
     59 	 * be positive.
     60 	 *
     61 	 * This all boils down to:
     62 	 *	if num >= 0, but r.rem < 0, we got the wrong answer.
     63 	 * In that case, to get the right answer, add 1 to r.quot and
