Err.number & -2147221005

Anyone found this error?
Running ASP pages on Win2000 Advanced Server:

	Set xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject(msxmlString)
	If Err.number > 0 Then

If I run this with a faulty msxmlString, Err.number is set to
"-2147221005". If I do the following instead:

	Set xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject(msxmlString)
	errnumber=CINT(Err.number)
	errnumber=CINT(Err.number)

then ... the first Err.number is -2147221005, the second is 6, the correct
value.
Anyone else found this?

Thanks, Roland.
