The for-loop condition does not work correctly on architectures where "char"
is unsigned. Fix it by using an "int", which may also result in more
efficient code.

This change is OK, but as long as you are touching this line, you should remove the initialization to zero. The first executable statement of that routine is "for (i = 3; i >= 0; --i)", thus there is no possibility that the variable could be used without being initialized.


Thanks,
