Dang! Another typo. Should be

  put 255 into bits
  put 128 into bit

...and believe me, if I had written the original algorithm I wouldn't
have chosen those variable names. Unfortunately, correcting that part
of the code doesn't really affect the total timing. Still takes on the
order of 25 minutes to run it here.
