Hi All,

This one says:
"It should be possible to have negative invoke ids"

Well, this is just a mistake that crept in at the
last minute. Invoke IDs are usually in the
range -128 to +127. The fix here is to change
the definition of invoke ID and change it from
ULong back to Long. This will also require a
change to the constant declared for NO_ID.

Perhaps while clearing this up we should look
at issues 2915 and 2589.
