Not really.  Standard C rules, you know - stuff frequently is converted
to data types bigger than they need to be.  I'm not sure whether it's
considered a bug in an expression like this, but probably not...

Also, it's clear that the ez80 stuff is aimed at "bigger machine source
compatibility"; presumably they decided it was less important to use
short and efficient data types, so that random tcp/ip applications
would be more likely to work with little effort...
