This is a long-standing problem, if I'm not mistaken. Dunno what's up
with that. I'll look into it.

This is due to bernstein_poly(k,n,1.4b0- %i/5),k=0,n=5; triggering
endless recursion in BIGFLOAT-IMPL:EXPT. If I'm not mistaken, it must be
caused by one of the bigfloat-related commits after 0917e90a6f (the
special variable stuff I committed) since it isn't present in a build
of 0917e90a6f.
