R Developers,

1000000000000000000 %% 11
[1] -32

I now understand that integers cannot be larger than
.Machine$integer.max, but because the above produces a result than is
patently wrong instead of an error, I'm reporting this as a bug.

Thank you for the incredible contributions all of you have made in
developing the R platform.

Best,
Robert
