I couldn't check on the limit, my Pike uses doubles... :-) I chanced that 50 was low enough, but I was wrong.
There is a lot of "fixme"'s in the mpf and mpq sources. I guess it's free for all if anyone wants to fix those...

Yes - it probably shows people have not used this much in Pike yet, so there is some polishing left to do. (To get a nice big rational number here, I can't go lower than adding 1e-45; anything smaller is lost.)
