ratsimp calls functions to compute polynomial quotients, and at some
point, one of them (for the record, PQUOTIENT or RQUOTIENT) is called
with arguments that it doesn't like, so it emits an error message.
That is a bug in ratsimp and/or whatever functions it calls.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to work around the problem.
If you have the time, can you please submit a bug report to:
