I thought I fixed the problem in one place (patch attached).
 That fixes this problem:

 coerce(0.5, int(s))

With this patch, I get:
XXX undetected error (why=3)

Hmm, wierd.  I think there may be a case of something
setting an exception and then not returning NULL (or
whatever).  You can certainly get some wierd tracebacks.

Buggered if I know where though -- "you are in a maze of
twisty function calls, all alike" :-/

Some playing with a debug build and gdb coming up...
