Ah, I recognize this.. 
The j should stay -1.
It's a blunder taken over from C, where retard had a bad moment and 
stated that shifting a 32 bit number by 32 bits makes no sense, so he'd 
make it a NOP, instead of doing what a sane person would: give one 32 
bit shift the same result as 32 one bit shifts.

Kind regards,
