Oups, did not even know that the new version was already in. Applied both
patches to my local version (oh the shame on speling errors :-(.

The +inf/-inf handling is brand-new, and still has
problems (mostly because I am not an infinity nor math expert). The doc may
lag behind the actual code, I need to go trough the doc and check it anyway
(rather hurried this release because I got sick at debugging it..:).
If anyone has anything interesting to say about +-inf, please email me. My
books and my pocket calculator are all vague, or plain wrong on these
*cough* more experienced math usages...and math experts seem suddenly
gone rare here.[0]

On the rest I won't comment - if nobody can come up with other
fixes beside spelling in source code comments and other syntactic sugar, I
must have done a good job ;o) (Uh-oh, please stop looking at me and my
code...)

Oh, it is probably a good idea to remove all tabs and replace them by
spaces to avoid future problems?

Best regards,

Tels
