Can edx possibly be non-zero there?  If not, why would the compiler even allow this?  Note that there aren't any cross references to the middle of that

Yeah, div modifies edx. I think it stores the remainder? Something like that.

div edx is equivalent to
temp = edx;
eax = eax / temp;
edx = eax % temp;

This piece of code is probably doing some aligning.

div edx would be
__int64 temp = (edx<<32) + eax;
eax = temp / edx;
edx = temp % edx;

Makes more sense to use ecx for dividing, since edx is part of the number you're dividing by edx too.

ooh, you're right, I didn't even notice that div!  Silly me!  Thanks
