[Python-Dev] Math.sqrt(-1) -- nan or ValueError?

Is this on OSX? That test has been failing (because on that platform
sqrt(-1) returns nan instead of raising ValueError) for years -- but
the test is only run when run in verbose mode, which mostly hides the
issue.  Have you read the comment for the test?
