# so instead of (almost) 0 for the real part, one gets more that
10^120
# on MacOSX 10.6 and on boxen, same story...
# same with RDF:

sage: x=RDF(-9.7689756689304364455848100180e133)
sage: y=RDF(-9.7689756689306664272145771333e133)
sage: x-y
2.29981629767e+120

Well, I understand we are on the border (if not over) of the precision
