This seems like a bug (probably in polys). But actually you should not
use floating point arithmetic for this. Rather write 'S(1)/2' instead
of '0.5'.

When testing for equality of a and b, it makes sense to look at a-b
and try to simplify it to zero (using cancel() or more advanced
simplification routines).

This sounds great, let us know if you run into problems.
