uhm, actually not... I was confused as well, but it was my utf-8 xterm
playing tricks on me. If you look close, the program just outputs
printable chars (at least on syscons), it skips some in between.
I don't get the system. As soon as you assign the int to any char
(signed, unsigned, plain) and pass this char, the negative numbers
are not shown.
