Summary: math.log(0) differs from math.log(0L)

Initial Comment:
This is maybe a minor nit, but math.log(0) raises an OverflowError
(range error) while math.log(0L) raises a ValueError (domain error).
Seems to me they ought to behave the same.  I noticed this in
2.2.2 but it's present in CVS.  In 2.1, both return -Inf.
