Failures on the Windows buildbot (http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows8.1%20Non-Debug%203.x/builds/238/steps/test/logs/stdio) shown below.

It looks as though Windows is emulating the FMA operation on this machine (and not doing a particularly good job of it). That means that if we want to support Windows (and we do), we may have to emulate ourselves, preferably using something a bit more efficient than the fractions.Fraction module.

I'll let the buildbots complete, to see what else fails, and then roll back the commit. The patch clearly isn't good enough in its current state.
