[Mono-list] bug found! :-)

[Thong (Tum) Nguyen]

Hmm..that's not the reason.

4/3 isn't an integer if you're doing floating point arithmetic but
that's not what's happening here. Notice how the following compiles
without an error:

int u = 3;
int I = 4;
int o = i / u;

The reason there is an error in Maurizio's code is because dividing an
integer by an unsigned integer yields a long (otherwise precision would
be lost).  The resulting long can't be assigned to the integer "o"
without a cast.  

Of course the error should be "cannot convert from long to int" rather
than "cannot convert from int to long".

All the best,

^Tum
