+Make netcat_flag_count() return positive value
+
+C language has 3 distinct char types:
+         char
+         unsigned char
+         signed char
+A char has the same range of values as signed char on X86,
+but same as unsigned char on PPC which made netcat_flag_count
+return a negative value, now we force variable c as signed char
+to make netcat_flag_count return positive value.
