Known problems:

  * elliptic: the test cmcurve=ellinit([0,-3/4,0,-2,-1]) may give results which
  differ slightly from the template (last decimal in a few entries). This
  ultimately depends on the output of

    polroots(x^3-3/4*x^2-2*x-1)[1]

  at \p38, which may be 2.0 or 1.999... depending on your hardware, libraries,
  compiler... Intel Pentiums running Linux often trigger this BUG (unrelated to
  the infamous fdiv bug), which can safely be ignored in any case: both results
  are correct given the requested precision.


In short: nothing to worry about in your installation.

Cheers,

      Karim.
