If it's value was passed as a parameter, it wasn't initialized with a
constant literal, although the value passed as a parameter may have been.
Which at least means that the expression would be expected to generate code,
and likely dying during either the 16 or 32 bit divide as pointed out
earlier by Wojtek Kaniewski; but that should be easy enough to confirm, with
a little luck.
