This is pretty bizarre, take a look at the following, 64-bit Pyhon 2.6b1 
-xO5.

>>> import math

>>> math.log(100.0) / math.log(2.0)

>>> import cmath

There is only an issue with cmath.log(100.0, 2.0) but not with 
cmath.log(100.0) / cmath.log(2.0).  That seems to indicate that the 
c_quot function may be the root cause of the problem.
