[Maxima] factor

[Stavros Macrakis]

By the way, it's easy to find the Zn roots of the polynomial:

     modulus:197$
     for i:0 thru 197 do if ratsubst(i,x,x^51+x^22+1)=0 then print (i);
            => 177
     rat(177) => -20
     divide(x^51+x^22+1,x-177) =>
          [yyy,0]

Trying to factor yyy gets you back to the original bug, unsurprisingly....
