Works fine with Win2k but fails in UNIX.

I don't see how it would work meaningfully anywhere ... you are asking for
the string length of a boolean value which when converted to a string
becomes either "true" or "false" which means the string length will never
be zero, which means the comparison will always be false, which means the
not() function will always return true, so you will always see "yes".
