Actual output: 1. 176.39584840699735171524 2. pop-up error: ln: function undefined for specified argument 3a. 0 3b. 0

Expected output: 2/3a the right answer 3b: certainly not zero

``` Same problem. This bug doesn't seem to have been fixed. ln(x) doesn't work for x > 10^78. For x > 10^82, it just returns 0.

``` I just checked it again, the current git version of SpeedCrunch is not subject to this bug. ln(1e82) yields 188.811977625511746089475299284117865023290322067559, the correct result. Sorry, please update your SpeedCrunch version.
