Thanks.  From the fact that compile succeeds, I assume the _Complex_I
fix was good, so I'll go ahead with committing that.

Understood.  This is the last thing I want to try to address before we
release 1.8.4.

Were those hidden because the make stopped at numbers.c before?

In any case, I think we should probably revisit those after 1.8.4;
otherwise there's too much uncertainty about exactly how the auto*
steps happened.

Hmm, that happens on Mac Powerbook too.  I did want to address this
before 1.8.4, but as it's a Scheme-level error only, I now think it's
better for us to get 1.8.4 out - so we'll look at this again after the
1.8.4 release.
