It might be that later versions of MSVC are smart enough to realize that

	{very small integer} - {size_t % very small integer}

can be no larger than {very small integer}, and therefore that the value in question will always fit in an 8-bit integer, given that {very small integer} is, in this case 8.

However, I'm not sure why we're using a guint8 for the pad variable in the first place....
