I'm wondering if perhaps this is a JVM bug?

java version "1.6.0_0" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.4.1) (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu13) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode)

class Tmp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("1>>1 = "+(1>>1));
        System.out.println("1>>2 = "+(1>>2));
        System.out.println("1>>31 = "+(1>>31));
        System.out.println("1>>32 = "+(1>>32));
        System.out.println("1>>33 = "+(1>>33));
    }
}

produces this when I run it:

1>>1 = 0
1>>2 = 0
1>>31 = 0
1>>32 = 1 <---------- should be 0 i think
1>>33 = 0

I also get the same results for any multiple of 32.

do I need to write my own right-shift to check for this?
