Description: zero with negative sign returned on round(sin) function
Details:
If I query select round(sin(2.0*pi()*0.51)) I get "-0" as return but zero is
unsigned.
but: select sin(2.0*pi()*0.51)
returns: -0.0627905195293133
and select round(-0.0627905195293133)
returns: 0 (no sign)
I used cast to work around it: select round(sin(2.0*pi()*0.51))::int
