Hi !
Here's my problem (mathematica 5.0,5.1,5.2):

Limit[Coth[xB], B -> +Infinity]

it doesn't understand.
mmh. ok I try then:

Limit[Coth[x B], B -> +Infinity, Assumptions ->  Im[x] == 0]

1

WRONG ! In fact:

Limit[Coth[x B], B -> +Infinity, Assumptions ->  Im[x] == 0 && Re[x] <
0]

-1

Indeed the correct result should be sign(x). And I couldn't find a way
to get it right.
Do I mistake something?

Thank you in advance,

Davide
