I am attempting to convert my main mail file (96Mb) to mbox format.

It looks as if it has decided that the form is a quartic, but then
later finds that the x^2 term has a zero coefficient. It looks as if
I fail to deal with sqrts of perfect squares; I assume that the form
sqrt(x^2) has been simplified before it gets to this code. At one
level this is a simplification failure, or I could accept that it
happens and treat degenerate cases. A very simple paliative would be
to add a line "if null numr a then return nil" in look_for_quad, after
the line commented "Re-centre". The integral then fails, but does not
crash. I will give it a little more thought.

These two message are treated as one
I have hacked all the other mail mail files to mbox, but this one has me totally confused.
