Comment(by jpflori):

 Thanx a lot for locating this! It would have taken me ages to do so. But
 you did not quite answered one of my questions: we won't get the last
 error because of precision stuff, so this can get removed? My point is
 that those last lines were explicitely made to catch that specific error
 that is not reported as such anymore, so I think it's useless, or if it
 can then it won't be becase of precision provlems anymore so the stuff
 about precision should be removed (and the reference to the maxima mailing
 list should be removed as well).

 I also agree it's not really important from a usefulness point of view,
 but having a good understanding of what we use in Sage is and our code
 should reflect that.
