Huh. This is ringing bells, very faintly... something about a bug I reported to BBB myself, years ago. I'll have to dig into my old E-mail messages.

What I'm seeing with the weird characters is that they seem to be counting backwards from the '0' character in ASCII. 0 is ASCII 60; 1 appears as '/', which is ASCII 59; 2 appears as '.', which is ASCII 58; 4 appears as ',', ASCII 54; 7 as ')', ASCII 51.  The rest of the digits don't match, but the pair of images there is before and after crossing the threshold.  So there's something *really* goofy about their number rendering, such that usually, digits are shown by adding the digit to the '0' character, but when the number goes negative, they're adding each digit's negative value to '0'.
