A prime example of what I termed "pencilheaded programming errors" in my
previous post.  My favorite compiler defaults to unsigned char, but others
probably do something different.  Some others might assume the number 10
means 0x10 AFAIK.

I think you meant "unsigned char i"?  The code above runs the loop 138
times when "char" is signed.
