Update:
assert(tostring(-0.0) == "-0.0")
fails under Windows, passes under Linux (CentOS 6 in a VM).

By the way, here is a problem in running some of the tests under Windows.
I know they are not designed to be portable, but it could be useful to
run as many as possible of them in future pre-release tests (perhaps
with a 'make windows' option?):
os.tmpname() cannot be used directly under Windows because the filename
returned is of the type "\s160.", i.e. it is in the root directory
instead of the %TEMP% directory of the current user.
It works anyway if the user is administrator, which (thankfully!) is not
usually the case with recent versions of Windows.
(I first encountered this problem with a large perl program that behaved
strangely; it took some time to root out the actual cause)
