     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Running numpy 1.6.0 on python 3.2.1 both compiled from source.

 uint64(-1)%2 is returning 0.0 which is obviously incorrect.

 Also when using uint64, modulo is returning a a float64 which is illogical
 since it can never return anything other than a uint64.

 Python 3.2.1 (default, Jul 20 2011, 15:59:19)
 [GCC 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)] on linux2

 >>> from numpy import uint64
 >>> uint64(-1)
 18446744073709551615
 >>> a = uint64(-1)
 >>> a
 18446744073709551615
 >>> hex(a)
 '0xffffffffffffffff'
 >>> a%2
 0.0
