I'll leave it to others to figure if I should be concerned:
>>> math.sqrt(-1)
nan
which suggests that the following comment from the math_test lib is
relevant:
# If this fails, it could be a puzzle. One odd possibility is that
# mathmodule.c's macros are getting confused while comparing
# Inf (HUGE_VAL) to a NaN, and artificially setting errno to ERANGE
# as a result (and so raising OverflowError instead).
Jack, should I be worried?
