I am reasonably sure that the modulus of a BigInt should work, could you
provide some example code of what you were doing?

I've cc'ed parrot-dev on this, since this is not really a p6c topic.

If you attach the output of "parrot_config --dump" that should give us
the necessary details
to debug what is going on.
