Summary: limit(log(x),x,0)

Initial Comment:
Maxima report the wrong answer for the title's limit, it reports: infinity (not -inf) (also instead of the symbol) and even if i try -log(x) -> 0 it reports infinity...

Message:
obviusly i tryed the right limit, it worked (-inf) but even from left is
-inf (even if it's not a funcion limit...) should it not  to say: "error"
instead of "infinity"? it could be misunderstanding...

Message:
Perhaps you wanted limit(log(x),x,0,'plus) -> minf.

"infinity" is the complex infinity.

Marking as pending/invalid.
