[Bug c++/35389] New: error in norm() of STL

[ywei at qualcomm dot com]

There is something wrong with the norm() in STL to get the norm2 of complex
numbers.

Suppose we have complex<double> x(8,1), the norm of x should be 8*8 + 1*1 = 65,
but norm(x) returns 64, which is incorrect.

If we do complex<float> x(8,1), there is no problem, norm(x) does return 65.

The issue is not limited to version 4.2.1. It is observed in other versions as
well.
