Well, it depends on which OS release you run it on.

Up to around 3.x we had a problem where we used an unsigned value
internally, so the result was always positive.

Then we briefly (3.3?) had a problem where we used a signed byte
internally, so comparing 1 and 55 would return negative, but comparing 1
and 250 would return positive.  (Or vice-versa, I forget.)

With OS 3.5, we've finally gotten it right.  At least, it matches the
standard now.
