      The specification of the BigInteger.mod() method seems
      to be incorrect in the online JDK 1.2 documentation.

      It says that the method always returns a positive BigInteger.
      This is not true as zero is indeed returned when "this"
      is equal to its argument.

      The word positive should probably be changed to non-negative.
