2-arg log function can't compute some logs

Description

Consider the following snip of code. CMUCL should really be able to compute all of these. CMUCL fails mostly because it cannot convert some bignum to a double-float. 

(defun test-log ()
  (dolist (base (list nil 2 2.0 2d0
		      (ash 1 99) (ash 1 3000)
		      8/7 (/ (ash 1 3000) 7)))
    (dolist (number (list 100 100.0 100d0
			  (ash 1 100) (ash 1 3500)
			  50/7 (/ (ash 1 3500) 7)))
      (multiple-value-bind (result cond)
	  (ignore-errors (if base
			     (log number base)
			     (log number)))
	(unless result
	  (format t "(log ~A ~A) ->~%  ~S~%" number base cond))))))

Fixed. Should handle double-double-float's too.
