Nope, wrong bug:
min() (and friends) are careful to only evaluate their arguments once.
The bug is using min_t() - especially with a small type.
If/when the number of cpu hits 65536 the (u16) cast will convert
it to zero.
Looking at the code a lot of the local variables should be
'unsigned int' not 'u16.
Just because the domain of a value is small doesn't mean
you should use a small type (unless you are saving space in
a structure).
