+     negative.  If only one is negative and QUOT has been

+     and QUOT has been truncated towards -infinity, REM will be
+     positive (will have the opposite sign of NUMER).  These are
+     considered `wrong'.  If both are NUM and DENOM are positive,
+     RESULT will always be positive.  This all boils down to: if
+     NUMER >= 0, but REM < 0, we got the wrong answer.  In that
+     case, to get the right answer, add 1 to QUOT and subtract
