@Pablo: Thanks; I saw the PR.

It looks as though the troublesome line

   long x = i_result * b;

is still there in that PR, though. Or am I misreading? The difficulty here is that the check for overflow has to happen as a means of preventing invoking undefined behaviour; it doesn't really work to invoke the undefined behaviour first and then check to see what went wrong.
