It's been a while since I looked at this problem, but I think it's an
issue in sbcl.  Basically, maxima expects expt to return a
double-float with double-float accuracy, but in certain cases, sbcl
returns a double-float with single-float accuracy.  This has been
reported to sbcl and there was interest in fixing this.
