Trial fix for ticket:258 / integer overflow undefined / phase
accumulator. Thanks to Stefan Bruens and Philip Ballister for working
on this.
According to the fine print in the C and C++ standards, if a signed
integer type overflows, the result is undefined. As of gcc 4.3, gcc
was proving that our code was overflowing, and took advantage of the
"undefined" result to short circuit the evaluation.
Moral of the story: if you're using a fixed point phase accumulator,
or anything else where you're counting on overflow happening, be sure
that your variable is unsigned.
