Evening Vitality.

I don't think that is a bug - you've specified an int literal, which would be
16 bits I'm presuming.  Try something like:

	temp = 0x00000001l << shift;

Or perhaps even use a 'ul' suffix.  That should prevent the bits falling
off the end, presuming of course that longs are more than 16 bits.

A decent compiler would probably warn about that sort of thing though, so
perhaps that's the real bug :)
