You also cast before a comparison with a char literal ('/'). Surely that
isn't necessary?

For the rest, it does sound like NetBSD's ctype.h is strictly compliant with
ISO C, which requires a non-EOF argument to be representable as an unsigned
char. Clearly a negative argument is not representable as an unsigned char
of the same integer value, so a cast is needed to force things to comply
with the ISO spec. Bah.
