If you decide to research specialized algorithms for calculating logs with a variety of bases, it may make sense to start trying to add one to the numeric-functions package [*] before going for base. Aleksey Khudyakov has been doing a lot of work on that package of late, and would likely be able to help you work out potential issues.

Thank you very much for all the detailed information and for purging some of the falsehoods in my worldview. I knew that I misunderstood a lot of stuff but now I have a better picture of were the errors actually are. So again, thanks! MarLinn
