+According to Partition III, 3.50;
+
+Negation of integral values is standard twos complement negation. In 
+particular, negating the most negative number (which does not have a 
+positive counterpart) yields the most negative number. To detect this 
+overflow use the sub.ovf instruction instead (i.e. subtract from 0).
