The following

limit(( %e^(-sqrt(2*s-1)*atan(y))) , s, inf);

gives an error

The value #:|cos(0)3749| is not of type LIST.
Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

    added some tildes to fix the formatting

    Bizarre that the atan(y) term messes things up. If you leave it off, limit returns 0. Replacing atan(y) with just y allows limit to succeed.
