>       _BitScanForward( &index, *digits ) ;

  From the documentation:

|If no bit is found, the function returns 0 and the value
|written to the address in the first parameter is undefined.

  . However, if there are 32 0s before a 1 is found, this 
  might be intended to add "32" to the total zero count.

  (GCC's and Clang's "__builtin_ctz" can also count bits and
  might be more portable.)
