Sorry for the 15 month delay!  Our bad.  On the other hand we're finally
about to cut a 2.0.12 so it would be nice to fix this.  Can you still
find this condition?  If so can you run Guile and type these expressions
at the console:

(expt 2 1/2)
(expt 2.0 1/2)
(sqrt 2)

and attach the log of what you type and what Guile says in response?

Thanks!

Andy
