The file algebra/reclos.spad.pamphlet (line 369) contains the definition

sqrt(x,n) == n = 0 => 1 ...

This function should represent x^(1/n), which does not go to 1 as n goes to 
infinity. In fact, algebraically y = x^(1/0) would represent the solution of 
y^0 = x, which has no solution unless x is 1. So the result should be undefined 
for n=0. Restricting the domain of n to Positive integer should do the trick.

Similarly, on line 412 of the same file, there is a similarly erroneous 
definition

nthRoot(x,n) == zero?(n) => x ...
