Description

Hi guys.

I fixed this issue in OpenBSD a while back, but I figured I should check and
inform the rest of the BSDs.

Shifting into or out of an int's sign bit is undefined, and this loop
deterministically and intentionally does both. The following change
was applied to OpenBSD and (IIRC) NetBSD.

Thanks for your time,
Michael McConville
