Worst Negative score on Jeopardy

The girl last night had -$5000 at the end of Double Jeopardy.  Is the the worst anyone has ever had as far as a negative score?

On Sony's Jeopardy board, somebody posted that it's negative $5,100, so she just missed setting the record if that's true.  I've asked for others there to jump in with more details.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

On the "Super Jeopardy!" final: At one point, Dave Traini had knocked himself down as low as -6800 (Points, not Dollars). He never got out of it.

From "Inside Jeopardy," Harry mentions someone who passed the test and was put on the show after a lackluster mock game.

Final Debt: -$4,300.  That should be the record, with the tweaking and all.
