Sorry. :( I have now.
Thanks for your answer.

I can't see how that would change things as the cell align
always lies within the range -7..0. The only thing that
springs to mind is perhaps you aren't using i386, and your
CPU doesn't sign extend char's??? What CPU are you using?
Yes I use an ARM big-endian architecture, it's my problem.
I understood now.
If we put a short, the patch works for all architecture, no ?
Thanks.
