On SunOS 4.0.3 on a Sparc processor

g++ version 1.34.2

libg++ version 1.34.0

fails test7 of test suite with a bus error when function close_enough
is called for the first time.

close_enough's parameters are
	close_enough (Complex a, Complex b)

if this is changed to
	close_enough (Complex& a, Complex b)

the test runs but fails the assertion.

if the params are changed to
	close_enough (Complex a, Complex& b)

the bus error returns.

It appears under the debugger that the constructor for the Complex
object "this" has the address offset (towards the greater address) by
4; e.g. the address of this = 0xc when it should be 0x8.
