--- Comment #6 from Bill Schmidt <wschmidt at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Perhaps I confused matters a little with the commentary.  What's happening with
the bug is that the multiplication succeeds in the double-int but the product
is then truncated to the size of the stride type on the double_int_to_tree
call.  If the sign changes during the truncation, then we have an effective
overflow when the target is that particular type.  This seemed like a simple
way to detect the problem with minimal changes to the code.  But I'm happy to
use whatever methods are preferred.
