I'm not so sure that fmod works correctly with negative numbers.
"The
mod function is defined as the amount by which a number exceeds the
largest integer multiple of the divisor that is not greater than that
number."

In the link page, the example is fmod(-340,60) should give 20 (positive) while fmod(340,60) should
give 40 (positive).
