This was easy to track down, but in the process I discovered that
`zmodload -af' is fatally flawed: you can't autoload more than one
function from the same library, since it complains about replacing
autoloadable math functions other than the one that triggered module
loading.  Since autoloading one math function is hardly worth it, and
since there is only one math library, it rendered the feature useless.
This seems to fix it.  We need more tests for autoloading.
