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).

Testcoercion 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).

This problem occurs on AIX and IRIX when using the vendor compilers IIRC. It's possible you can fix the problem by using a compiler flag which changes the math processing. This should be fixed generally sooner or later.
