this is unfortunate really -- the newer LZCNT/TZCNT instructions on x86 
explicitly return 8*sizeof(type) for input of zero because the undefined 
behaviour of BSF/BSR posed a lot of problems in inner loops.  it might be 
useful to add explicit builtins for this behaviour.

thanks for taking a look at the bug :)
