You are missing the point of this thread; its not at all about Mike R 
tripping over one of the numerous C++ pitfalls. I don't doubt that his 
program is great at what it does, and its awesome that he shares it with 
us. 

The issue is what I see as a failure of the Sage review process where some 
code that doesn't seem to be ready for public consumption was shoehorned 
into a library. Ideally, one of the Sage developers who works in that field 
would team up with the upstream author and polish lcalc. This would be both 
a service to Sage and the mathematical community.
