Agreed - by my reading the original patch is correct. Maybe it would act
as cleaner 'documentation' to have the sign_extend32() for the cold junction be
from bit 12 rather than 15, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Andrew, would be great if you can review this fix in case we are all missing
something!
