I need a little guidance with bug #775892. I think it's non-serious, but I'm not sure (and I don't know how easy it is to fix).
Test_coercion is failing on the beta for MacOSX 10.3. All the failures have the same form: the output is (XXX-0j) in stead of the expected (XXX+0j).
It isn't serious, and we've (you & I) been thru this failure before <wink>. If the compiler for this box has some sort of switch named along the lines of "don't used fused multiply-add", it should cure it. Or we could rewrite the test not to rely on the (more accidental than not, given the state of C compilers) sign of 0.
