A grep through _62 Changes for % and modulo sheds no light. All :I've established is that the fix was in place by _57, the earliest :development version I have around. For what it's worth: crypt% setperl 57 old: perl5.005_03; new: perl5.005_57 crypt% perl -wle 'print 8473018401 % 524288' 33 crypt% setperl 56 old: perl5.005_57; new: perl5.005_56 crypt% perl -wle 'print 8473018401 % 524288' 524287 crypt% .. so it was presumably fixed for the first time in _57.
