The minor patch was incorrect.  I copied some code from C_s_a_i_remainder
into C_s_a_i_modulo inline, but that code had an early return for the
case where both numbers are flonums.  This code needs to be adjusted to
handle the case when the arguments aren't of the same sign, just like we
do after returning from integer_divrem().

I'm sending both patches again for your convenience.  The second patch
has a fix for the aforementioned issue.

Cheers,
