I'll just throw in another suggestion besides all the code corrections
you've been given.

Since you have assembly background, you might want to fire up TD, the
debugger, and View Cpu which shows the assembly code and allows you to
watch what happens to the registers as you step through it.

You probably would have seen the overflow condition.

That's how I learned C. Write it. It doesn't work. Step through it and
see what the crazy compiler did to my nice code. Often I would write
the same code three different ways, compile it, and then look at the
assembly and find which method caused the compiler to create what I
thought I meant it to do.
