It was Kelly, with the intent of supressing a warning (or error?) on 
Mac. My guess is that the compiler might have found it a bit superfluous 
to check if a unsigned short is ever > 65535. So the change seems sound, 
since otherwise that check will never happen (and too large numbers will 
just overflow). I'm not sure if it should be done as part of this push, 
thouh.
