Re: Zeta() changes in recent versions?

Good catch ! This affects 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 and is due to a typo I introduced
when changing the cache model for Bernoulli numbers [ to compute and store
them individually, either as exact fractions or as floating point numbers, with
their own individual accuracies; instead of as a large homogeneous chunk that
had to be discarded entirely whenever a single component had to be updated ].

Due to the typo, Bernoulli numbers were no longer cached "automagically".
And Euler-Maclaurin became prohibitive...

This bug is fixed in
