[Cuis-dev] Bug in Integer>>#raisedTo:modulo:

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Doing
    pow := pow * pow \\ m
instead of
    pow := pow * pow \\\ m
at the beginning of the loop in Integer>>#slidingLeftRightRaisedTo:modulo:
seems to fix it. But still I’m not sure why it is random otherwise, and I’m
not sure that this really fixes the problem.
