Thanks for fixing this.

I looked over the patch, and to the extent I understand Altivec, it
looks good. The only comment I have is that personally, I'd just have
put in an "if (mask)" in the nomask loop, the way it's done in sse2
and mmx. That's your call, though.

Let me know if you want me to push it to master.


Thanks,
