[Toybox] Toybox bc's transcendental and irrational functions produce incorrect results, memory leaks and exhibit brute force algorithmic complexity.

Upon inspection of the mathematics core of the toybox bc it appears to
have multiple systemic issues and is potentially unsalvagable.
All transcendental functions produce out of bounds memory accesses.
All builtin functions produce gratuitous and insecure memory errors.
Excessive or incorrect memory consumption for invocations of
transcendental functions result in total memory exhaustion consuming
about 1 GB for every few seconds of run time.
The algorithms used are of the most naive possible variety and balk
under even the smallest inputs taking hundreds of times longer than
similar implementations.
All builtin transcendental and irrational functions produce incorrect results.
Functions that should be complete in a fraction of a second are
getting bogged down in naive algorithmic complexity.
I had read that a team of mathematicians and systems programmers were
working on the
new toybox bc implementation. What exactly happened here?
