Please review this minor correction to DivModTests to address this issue:
     http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8014296

With autoboxing of mixed types primitive and Object, the operators == and !=
are interpreted as reference compare instead of value compares.
The compiler is silent about the likely unintended consequences.

Thanks, Roger
