I just finished a game in which my hit point maximum was 126.
When my actual hit points reached my maximum, they became
negative.  This made me rather nervous, but I didn't seem to
die and my points began to climb back up past zero to reach
maximum again (at which point they became negative again ...).

I decided that I didn't like this strange behavior, so I found
a vampire and let him have a free shot at me.  Unfortunately
my hit point capacity was negative at the time.  It seems that
the program only checks for non-positive points immediately
after you get hit.
