[Gambas-user] Possible error when doing math on bytes

[Brian G]

When I do math on bytes I get an overflow now when the value of the byte goes negative 
example: 
dim a as byte = 0 
dim b as byte = 24 
dim result as byte = a - b 

This causes an overflow error, where in the past it was just a negative number. 
Is this a bug or a new undocumented feature?
