I supplied a fix for this; see RT ticket #24247 for a full explanation of the general problem. Seems it never made it to the list, so I've attached a new patch for current CVS. The other problematic test is ye olde -0 error, which Dan seemed to think was best left failing for the time being. A simple fix to make the test pass is attached to RT #24088. -Adam
