\ Solve for the two complex solutions of the quadratic equation:
\
\   a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
\
\ Assume a, b, and c are real. The two complex roots are 
\ z1 = x1r + i*x1i and z2 = x2r + i*x2i

\
\ Notes:
\
\   1. Ensure that argument "a" is not zero, or an infinity will result;
\      the correct solution of the simple linear equation will not be
\      given.
\  
\   2. The returned roots are unordered.

\ Revisions:
\
\   2002-11-02  km; first version.
\   2003-10-25  Christopher Brannon; fixed problem with calculation
\                 of complex roots.
\   2007-11-04  km; revised comments; added test code; save and restore base. 
\   2009-08-05  km; revised to preserve accuracy when the product a*c is
\                   much less than b^2; see [1]. Added new test case.
