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".
