In the end (revision 12167) I decided to change to the % operator and the results passed the test_diff_psc test (i.e., were the same as the corresponding C examples) for my Lua-5.1 platform. So Atri, please try the test_lua_psc target again with this revision from svn trunk. I hope you will be able to get a lot further into the examples or maybe even complete them!
