Yup, mathematically you're right.  I was thinking in terms of
summing them in the s-plane -- I don't see any place where the sum
goes to zero in that case.  But you're right, if I do the conversion
substituting jw (w=omega) for s and multiplying H(s) by its complex
conjugate to get squared amplitude, I do get zeros.
