unncessary -> unnecessary

That's not really the comment that I was looking for. It still doesn't explain *why* this is needed at all. How about something like this:
/* * Add the ULL suffix to the constant 10 to work around a false Coverity * "Unintentional integer overflow" warning. Coverity isn't smart enough * to understand that len is always <= 16, so there is no chance of an * integer overflow. */
Regards,
Hans
