      In Windows integer remainder operation completes abruptly in the case when
      the negative value of the largest magnitude is the dividend and -1 is the
      divisor. Thus, execution of the following test:

      public class test
      {
      public static void main(String argv[])
      {
      int i = 0x80000000;

      System.out.println(i % -1);
      }
      }

      produces the following output:

      exception of rounding to zero:

      instead of expected:

      0
