You could but it is unlikely to be a piece of code that you would want 
to maintain.

What is YOUR point? My point is that most of this arguing about software 
engineering at the C level is moot because you are wasting your time 
expressing such an algorithm in C in the first space - you found a 
significant bug in the code that you rewrote and this is for a problem 
that is completely trivial.

Cheers,
