 The results are the same on Mono and .NET Framework, in addition - 
 as written in the previous comment - they comply with the standard 
 so there is no use to change the current behaviour.

+You're of course totally right, as the specification states - which I
+didn't bother looking at, as I was naively expecting C-like behaviour
+
+I came across this while debugging cross-platform problems between
+.NET (2.0 Beta 2, also Compact Framework) and Mono (1.1.8.x):
+
+The claim that it's the same on both platforms is not correct: when
+shifted by more than the maximum amounts defined in the original
+posting, the results are actually the ones wrongly expected - this is
+how I stumbled over this in the first place
+
+Looks like Microsoft is not implementing the official standard - how
+typical. Looks like I need to report that fact to Microsoft :-(
+
+Sorry about my implicit assumption that the Microsoft implementation
+is correct instead of yours - maybe I should go check what SSCLI does...
