New issue 94 by emil.len... at ...626...: A For-statement can store an Integer  
in a Byte/Short.

1) Describe the problem.
Like the summary, a for-statement can store an Integer in a Byte/Short.
It should wrap, but it doesn't. See the example.

2) GIVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATIONS (if they are appropriate):

Version: TRUNK
Revision: r4067
Operating system: Linux
Architecture: x86_64

3) Provide a little project that reproduces the bug or the crash.
The code:
   Dim i As Byte
   For i = 1 To 255
   Next
   Print i

Prints 256, when it should print 0. (Print i+0 actually prints 0).
The same happens with Short.

4) If your project needs a database, try to provide it, or part of it.

5) Explain clearly how to reproduce the bug or the crash.
Run the example.

6) By doing that carefully, you have done 50% of the bug fix job!
