Just a small heads up:

I thought a bit about that (without pencil and paper on my way to work
today), and the optimal solution is non-trivial. In fact you have to
pick parameters A and B such that for a given C

	(A + 1) * (B + 1) is maximal with

	0 <= A < 0x100
	0 <= B < 0xff
	(A + 1) * (B + 1) <= C

A consistent non-optimal choice that is easier to calculate than a
complete search would be nice. But I think we're not there yet.

Best regards
Uwe
