Now that I've had a chance to look at it while actually awake, it's 
clear that "& 0x80" is dumb. It doesn't make any sense to do that. It 
would limit the possible editions to 0 and 128 - not useful at all. I've 
fixed that in the latest hg. Fortunately, this dumbosity won't actually 
cause the modules to break.

For the record, that could be a 64 bit value on a 64 bit host system, 
depending on the size of "int", if the edition was specified in a linker 
script.
