Erm??

Looking at a bit more context for the function:

static void seq_sysex_message(unsigned char *event_rec)
{
        int dev = event_rec[1];
        int i, l = 0;
        unsigned char  *buf = &event_rec[2];

        if ((int) dev > max_synthdev)
                return;
        if (!(synth_open_mask & (1 << dev)))
                return;
        if (!synth_devs[dev])
                return;

that 'int dev' came out of an 'unsigned char *' - as such, I doubt you
can get a negative value.  If anything, it should be 'unsigned int dev'.
