What steps will reproduce the problem?

$ ypsilon
Ypsilon 0.9.6-trunk/r503 Copyright (c) 2009 Y.Fujita, LittleWing Company
Limited.
> (- -3.29-2.39i -3.29-2.39i)
0.0+0.0i
> (magnitude (- -3.29-2.39i -3.29-2.39i))
+nan.0

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The magnitude should be inexact zero.  A NaN.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r503. i686-pc-linux-gnu.

Please provide any additional information below.
The other Scheme implementations I tested return zero.

Simpler:

(magnitude +0.0i) => +nan.0
