Bug: toField and %

[josephine.yu]

It looks like "% ideal" is behaving strangely after the ring has been
declared a field. See below:

i1 : F = toField( QQ[x]/(x^2+1) )

o1 = F

o1 : PolynomialRing

i2 : 1 % ideal(x)

o2 = 1

o2 : F

i3 : 1 % x

o3 = 0

o3 : F

I should add that this bug didn't exist in version 1.3.1. The example
was in version 1.4.

Thanks for the bug report! For now, you can work around it with 1_F in place of 1:

i3 : 1_F % ideal(x)

o3 = 0

o3 : F
