    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This happens for characters > 128. 

octave:122> uint32(char(226))
ans = 0
octave:123> uint32(char(22))
ans = 22


(For comparison, replacing unit32 by double in the above ameliorates the
situation. 
I don't think this problme can be  "explained away" by ascii's limitation to
128, but I could be wrong. This is char, not ascii, and again, double works
whereas uint32 doesn't.)

Thanks.
Dave ("deego")

P.S.: carandraug reports that the bug persists in the devel version.
