As pointed out upthread, it's an infinite loop should ct ever happen
to be unsigned. Learning disability?
C programmers who know what they are donig rarely use predecrement like this in
descending loops, because the counter decrements even in the case that the loop
guard fails and the body is not to be executed any more, which means that it
decrements one past zero.
