Oops, need the ((2**M)/N) to round up, so that should be ceil((2.0**M)/N)
or ((2**M+N-1)/N) instead of ((2**M)/N).  Perhaps there is a simpler way
to write the messier expression, which I didn't come up with.  I am pretty
sure it is not as simple as integer division by a constant that puts the
extras into the first bins.
