ok. hit me if i am very wrong, but i guess this is not related to the 
pd-release.... (my assumptions sounds arrogant to me, though)

well, this looks to me, like you were not calculating "54-10" but "10-54".
The order does not matter when adding (a+b=b+a), but it does matter when 
subtracting (a-b != b-a)
How does your patch look ?

The following calculates 44 for me::
=---   =---
|54(   |10(
=---   =---
|      |
=------=
| -    |
=-------
|
=-----\
|44    |
=-------

eg by multiplying with "-1" or by reversing the order....
