 If I do (in Sage 4.7.2 or 4.8.alpha6)
 {{{
 plot_slope_field(1, (1,2), (3,4))
 }}}
 (or anything else that I have tried), then in front of the plot, which
 looks as expected, I get
 {{{
 Warning: divide by zero encountered in divide
 Warning: invalid value encountered in multiply
 Warning: invalid value encountered in multiply
 Warning: divide by zero encountered in divide
 Warning: invalid value encountered in multiply
 Warning: invalid value encountered in multiply
 }}}

 My investigation so far shows: this function is a little wrapper for
 `plot_vector_field` which sets new defaults for three options. If
 `headlength` is set to 0, there are warnings.

 A possible workaround is to set it to something small: 0.001 seems to work
 on the screen. However, since with `headaxislength=0` and `headlength=0.2`
 I definitely see "a hair on the end", it does not seem to be satisfactory
 from a perfectionist point of view (and producing vector formats that may
 be scaled or printed with high resolution).

 Besides, current settings do produce the accurate plot, it just shows
 warnings that should not be there, and I have no idea how to fix it.
