Well, I'm not too worried, esp. since the original BEFI (1280 bytes) also had the bug. But I do think I've fixed it (see IDIV.BEF, NEGMOD.BEF). But whatever, there's always hidden bugs, can't worry until you find 'em. I tried a few times to use weirdly huge negative numbers to mess up either MUL or IDIV, but nothing showed up (vs. various other B93 or B98 interpreters).
