The latest CVS version I have is .15cvs.
Do you, perchance, have my exp bigfloat evaluation patch? That seems
to cause this.
If not, then I don't know what the problem is.
If you do have the patch, I'm not sure what we should do. I think
it's nice that exp(1.0*%i) gets evalutated numerically, but we don't
want this to happen in polarform.
