Hi Eager,

I would not really count this as a bug - after all the same effect could be
achieved by using a very large positive value - but I take the point that the
assembler could handle it better.  So I have checked in a variation of your
patch which includes an update to the documentation - noting that negative
counts are not allowed, a update to the assembler testsuite - to check that the
error message is generated, and a few type fixes in the code to ensure that we
are using unsigned values for the count.

Cheers
  Nick
