Subtract from variable, cannot subtract bellow 0

An access violation ocurs if you subtract from a variable to get a result below -1
For example:

$y:float
$y = -1
$y = $y-1

This should change $y to -2 however it just creates an access voilation.

-- The workaround --
You can avoid this happening by making the subtraction in a slightly different way.
For example:

$y:float
$y = -1
$y = $y+(0-1)

This doesn't fail to execute and you do end up with -2.

Linux TextOut Init Error

On a linux operating system like debian (the one i am using) GLScript will crash and shutdown when TextOut is called.
If you run from a terminal then you can see that the exact error is: freeglut ERROR: Function <glutBitmapCharacter> called without first calling 'glutInit'.

Debian 5.1, FreeGlut3, GLScript
