Easy to find from its description:

/**
  * Encryption (or decryption) of a single character.
  * Within the given range the character is shifted with the supplied 
offset.
  *
  * @param	int		Ordinal of input character
  * @param	int		Start of range
  * @param	int		End of range
  * @param	int		Offset
  * @return	string		encoded/decoded version of character
  */

This problem happens from time to time but why - it is unclear. The 
reason is not yet tracked down.
