I think this arises from an error in compiling tangle --
an unsigned char is being used
where a signed char is required,
giving 255 for -1.
(Although the problem arose with tangle,
it would also arise later with tex itself.)
If you don't have signed char with your compiler,
you may have to change it to short.
(The problem may be mentioned in site.h or config.h,
or somewhere like that.)
