a bit of testing shows that at least FreeBSD 4.10 behaves similiar to OpenBSD/i386 and I found the following discussion too: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3759+0+archive/2003/freebsd-standards/20030511.freebsd-standards that hints that setting ERANGE on an underflow (vs an overflow) is implementation specific though I ws unable to verify that this is indeed the case ...
