Summary: test_coercion failing on Panther

Initial Comment:
Test_coercion is failing on Panther. All the failures have the 
same form: the output is (XXX-0j) in stead of the expected 
(XXX+0j).

Ignore it -- the sign of a float 0 is more accidental than not.  
If the compiler has a switch to disable generation of fused 
multiply-add instructions, the failure will probably go away.

After 2.3, we should rewrite the test so that "sign of 0" cases 
aren't even tried anymore.
