Right shifting in octave

[goblinsly]

Hey everyone, 

I am writting a simple crc32 program in octave, i have a working program
written in c as a guideline/help. Right now i am stuck with the
rightshifting:

in c:

unsigned int crc = -85
unsigned int number = (crc >> 1);

The result is a really big number 2147483605. Basicly i get the same result
as if i put 0xFFFFFFFF instead of -85. And the program works.

In Octave i get a really small number -43:
crc  = -85
a = bitshift(crc, -1)

How can i duplicate the big result from c in octave ?
