It occurred to me after sending this that I didn't actually know what
(unsigned)*inp would do.  As it turns out, it sign-extends to int
_before_ interpreting as unsigned int, the opposite of what I had
expected.

So, yeah, please ignore anything I ever say about integer type casting,
as I clearly don't have a clue.
