Hello,
This is a problem that has been known for some time (I changed it from
char to unsigned char, which gave us 127 more items to play with :),
but nobody took the time of checking whether in all the places where
this counters are used, the data is never copied to a char variable
(thereby losing part of it).
If you think you could check that for us, I'd gladly accept to change
this.
Thanks,
JMarc
