If I were considering the one code site in isolation, I'd pick "ivlen > 0".
But of the four sites identified so far, three have signed length variables.
Since we're likely to get more examples of this pattern, some signed and some
unsigned, I'd rather use a style that does the optimal thing whether or not
the variable is signed.  What do you think?
