Just for visibility:

Per offline discussion with Ricardo, this should not cause a samples[-1]
access, as all arithmetic operations there `unsigned`

    75ef:       41 8d 46 ff             lea    -0x1(%r14),%eax
    75f3:       31 d2                   xor    %edx,%edx
    75f5:       f7 f1                   div    %ecx
    75f7:       41 89 d5                mov    %edx,%r13d

Regardless of that, Ricardo still has a point, there is a bug in the code.
