IMHO it would be better to get the underlying problem resolved. If
there is some issue with ECL computing eliptic integrals, it could
affect other functions too. It's unlikely to just affect them.

The test.log I stuck on the Trac has some other test failures. I've
not had chance to go through them all.

Of course if something can be computed two ways, it does give a sanity check.

It would be good if others can test the Maxima and ECL .spkg's I
posted. If these work well in Sage for other supported operating
systems, then it would be good to get them in Sage asap. They do at
least build on Solaris, even if there are some problems on that
platform.
