In Euphoria, hex numbers are positive unless
there's a minus sign in front.

You can "correct" the C code by using %u
(display an unsigned integer), instead of %d
(display a signed integer).

In Euphoria, you don't have to worry about
signed vs. unsigned integers. %d simply means
display an integer.
