Good grief.  This is C, not C++.  In C it isn't legal to reduce the width of 
the underlying type of the enum to the minimum width that contains the 
enumerators -- the underlying type must still be int or unsigned int.  Thus reg 
must be able to hold the value 16 (or 1000 for that matter).

IMO this is a clang bug.

I guess I'll rearrange this code so that it doesn't use the enum in the loop.
