Address GH #20571
The blamed commit, 04de022, exposed a bug in the module itself. I will
submit a PR to fix it.
But this ticket did tell me that there was a problem with that commit.
It returned a C language value, CHAR_MAX, which doesn't really have a
corresponding concept in Perl. Instead we use -1 to indicate that a
positive-valued variable is in some abnormal state. This commit changes
to do that, and documents the changes, which should have been done in
04de022.
