Assuming I did this right, I see that the polynomial for period 10 is of
order 495.  The largest coefficient has about 285 bits in it.  So maybe
you need to use fpprec of 300 or more?

Thanks for the reminder.  My idea was just to add bfallroots to the
entry for allroots, and add a short note that bfallroots is the same as
allroots, except bfloats are used.
