fast_float(p) trashes the worksheet namespace when p is a polynomial
with 60,000 terms.  I tried to pin down the minimum number of terms
that produce this bug, arriving at 56093, but the bug was not
consistent.   (Sage 4.3.4 under Linux, Sage 4.4.4 under OS X 10.6.4)

sage: Nterms = 60000
sage: RQ = PolynomialRing(QQ, 1, 'x', sparse=True)
         RQ.inject_variables(); vars = RQ.gens(); var=vars[0]

         Defining x

sage: p=0;
         for k in range(Nterms):
              p += var^k;
         p in RQ

        True

sage: len(p.coefficients())

        60000

sage: g=fast_float(p)
sage: Nterms

          Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
           ...
           NameError: name 'Nterms' is not defined
