    Well, I have read a little about this issue. Our i64 implementation defines 
the
    quotient as truncate(a/b), like many C implementations. For that reason the
    remainder has the same sign as the dividend (like C99). I wrote a patch to 
fix
    the mod result sign considering that and some tests to prove it.

Thanks for investigating and fixing this.
    
    OTOH, could someone test this patch on a win32 platform and evaluate the 
results
    as for FS#105 ? I believe they are related.

I will try tomorrow in a Windows machine.
    
    Patch follows,

Applied.
