Why would you expect another output? The standard says:
> The header <bitset> defines a class template and several related functions for representing and manipulating fixed-size sequences of bits.

Since it's fixed-size these zero bits exist and thus they must be considered by the loop. The loop must do 1000 iterations.

Am I missing something?
