Comment:

 I just added a patch which should fix this also. It does it in a slightly
 different way. The sqrt() functions just are using the
 is_square(root=True) functionality (one should not have two square root
 finding algorithms in parralel). Also the sqrt() function has now the
 optional parameter extend. The is_square() function now also uses the
 trick mentioned by Peter the Bruin which is very general as it should be
 in this general base class.

 The patch should be installed aplied to 4.4.4 instead of the other patch.
