Hello,
I can't tell what generates the error for you (I don't see it) - it
seems as if "norm" was called on non-real data, but I don't think
there's a test that should be doing that. Maybe a miscompilation (opt.
flags)? In any case I can't reproduce it with my 3.0.5 build.
Doesn't occur in 3.1.x either, which is no surprise given that "norm"
was completely rewritten for 3.1.x. If you can compile the development
version, maybe the problem will just disappear (and no doubt dozens of
others will pop up).

cheers
