A typo in LLL_cmbf (my variant of van Hoeij's factorizer): we have two
lattices called CM_L and M_L, supposedly related by CM_L = C * M_L; I was
updating CM_L, but M_L was updated just after it was needed...

In very rare cases this causes an infinite loop: we see no factors when the
right lattice is determined, because the previous M_L is used for the check,
and we never check again with a correct M_L since the lattice never changes
from this point on.

This is fixed in CVS.
