Are there any values that are known to be ont a handle?

On windows codetools find InvalidHandleValue = -1
But on Linux I found nothing like this.

Given that fpselect is documented to have a bit-array of 256 bits, I 
would guess only 0 to 255 are valid? Though of course that may change...

What about -1 or negative in generic?
