hmm possibly because the buf0 coincidentally contains a lot of zeros
in exactly the right places?

sum is mulres1 - mulres0, when it should be -mulres1 - mulres0. Note

ok, i'm reverting the fmsubs and the removal of tmpsum and tmpsum2,
then copying the pattern of subtracting from something for MLSS
at the end sum.

it still passes on buf0 but fails on buf1000.
