Reverting to rev 1.2. Apparently gcc doesn't use the extended-precision

capabilities of the Pentium FPU, so what should have been (and were on
Windows) exact results got fuzzy.  Then it turns out test_support.fcmp()
isn't tolerant of tiny errors when *one* of the comparands is 0, but
test_complex's old check_close_real() is.  Rather than fix gcc <wink>,
easier to revert this test and revisit after the release.
