Better not collect any more or it will rollover to -255!

Signed byte goes from -128 to 127, so it would have rolled over long ago. Unsigned byte goes from 0 to 255, and cannot represent negative, so it can’t roll over, it will overflow instead. 2-byte or bigger integer will have ways to go. Just what is the size of your variable?

put it in the “bug” section, so the devs can work on that, because I see this as an issue!
