--- Comment #7 from Justin Hibbits <jhibbits at FreeBSD.org> ---
Careful, that narrowing on powerpc and arm would yield a value of 255.  If it's
used as a '< 0' check later, said check will fail.

I've run into this a lot when people set the return value of getopt() to a
char, and compare to -1, leading to an infinite loop.
