Tweak to hints/machten.sh: stop t/lib/complex.t from failing
Tim, this patch, posted to you and copied to p5p on 23rd September, and posted to you again on 10th October, seems to have slipped through your net. Please please please put it in before 5.004_04. (Copied again to p5p this time in the hope of achieving better reception through multipath diversity.) Thanks Credited: Dominic Dunlop <domo@slipper.ip.lu> p5p-msgid: v03110700b06a30bdfc42@[194.51.248.80]
