What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. var a = 10;
2.a %= 0; #Program crashes
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be zero.
The application crashes

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0.8 from haxelib, haven't had time to test the svn version yet.

Please provide any additional information below.
a = a % 0;
Works as expected.

Hi,
I think modulo 0 is undefined - remainder after division by 0 is a divide by zero error.
I think it is up to the user code to guard against this.  However, if you can point me to some doco that says otherwise, I will change it.

You are right of course I forgot I wrote that and looking back I should have realized that it crashes because of divide by zero. I guess I only saw that one way made it crash and the other didn't and assumed that there was a bug somewhere.
