Oh, this test fails with cmucl 19a?  I guess the behavior of cl:expt was
changed sometime after 19a (which is pretty ancient since the current
version is 20a).

I've been resisting fixing this because I feel it is a bug in Lisp. 
Especially since ccl has fixed it and sbcl will have it fixed and it's
already fixed in later versions of cmucl.
