-1, when assigned to unsigned int of 32 bit, is indeed interpreted as 4294967295 (i.e. 2^32=4294967295+1). May be the result of a wrong cast of signed to unsigned. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel
