Yes, it does. And it even runs on my 80186 based IP camera then, btw.

luaO_int2fb gets an "unsigned int" and returns an "int". luaO_fb2int 
has "converts back" as comment, but returns an "int" where returning an 
"unsigned int" would seem more "symmetrical" to me. This is probably 
nitpicking, but it just catched my eye. It's probably not worth any 
discussion...
