True.

One thought is that I've always thought that ex17 was a bit strange 
since we're looking for

sup_v a(v,v) / m(v,v)

which is unbounded as h --> 0. Perhaps things are more fragile because 
of this high-frequency mode? Does ex17 work with complex numbers if you 
uncomment the line:

eigen_system.eigen_solver->set_position_of_spectrum(SMALLEST_MAGNITUDE);
