I already did that part.

Dang. Oh, well. That's what I get for not testing.

I don't much like that "%+05s" trick either, since that one also depends on the direction of rounding for negative division (it just gets it right for the normal case, and I guess C90 finally specified it precisely).

Let's just do unsigned arithmetic and check the sign specially. I already did that on input, just not on output.
