Thank you for responses. It seems that the best solution would be to
use pari in the way that Dr. Stein said earlier.
MPFR does have one important advantage: it has a *guaranteed* error
bound. With PARI, you never really know how precise the answer is. So in
principle, I would prefer MPFR for this reason.
Or should you discuss it first here and then submit a ticket?
I guess both are ok. Posting to sage-devel does give the question much
more visibility. And it this case, it pointed out a good general
question (which library do we prefer to compute special functions and
which criteria matter?) On the other hand, for simple small bugs,
directly posting to Trac might be better.
