Comment(by rbeezer):

 Replying to [comment:9 dimpase]:

 Dima - excellent detective work.  And excellent timing, I was just sitting
 down to look at this again.

 > By the way, if I replace {{{max_entry = zero}}} on line 9334 with
 {{{max_entry = zero.abs()}}} then the code works, as this does the right
 type of coersion.

 dig up.

 I like the idea of applying {{{abs()}}} to the zero element to get the
 types to line up.  I will watch the sage-devel thread to see what
 transpires, and then write a short patch, likely with your example from
 above as a test.

 Thanks,
 Rob
