NIH assign_bit().

On top of that, what is BIT as parameter does in the else branch? Have you
compiled this?

Reversed xmas tree order?

Not sure if wee need this blank line, since both functions are from the same
(functional) group.

You'd need ledstate to be ulong, not bit. Or am I missing something?
