--- Comment #3 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
jacob can i ask you if you could check something:

can you write a function that multiplies the result by the divisor
and checks that the result is equal to the dividend in all cases
where overflow is *not* true, and conversely when it is not equal
that the overflow *is* true?

i have a sneaking suspicion that this will be the case, and consequently
the function in the simulator which checks for "overflow" may be a
simple one-liner: "overflow = (divisor * result) != dividend"

as we are not concerned (at all) about speed in the simulator, this will
do the trick.
