You were correct! Actually, I had two off by one errors :-/

One was with calculating the number of added commas

-	str_size += nr_bits / 32;
+	str_size += (nr_bits - 1) / 32

No comma if the we have exactly 32 bits (only one if we have 64).

The other was with the start:

-	for (i = str_size - 3; i >= 0; i -= 2) {
+	for (i = str_size - 2; i >= 0; i -= 2) {

I included the '\0' when I didn't have to :-p

Should work now. Thanks for testing.
