Subject: Numerical evaluation of sequence looks suspicious

Henry,
I think maybe you want the numer flag instead of the float flag.
An excerpt from ? ev :
* `float' causes non-integral rational numbers to be
converted to floating point.
* `numer' causes some mathematical functions (including
exponentiation) with numerical arguments to be evaluated
in floating point. It causes variables in <expr> which
have been given numervals to be replaced by their
values. It also sets the `float' switch on.
Also, display2d : false or grind (<whatever>) can make output more
comprehensible in emails.
HTH
