  c evaluate  clog(1+z)  from 2-nd order with relative error accuracy so
  c that     clog(1+z) = z - z**2/2 + z**3*c9ln2r(z).
  c
  c now  clog(1+z) = 0.5*alog(1+2*x+cabs(z)**2) + i*carg(1+z),
  c where x = real(z)  and  y = aimag(z).
  c we find
  c     z**3 * c9ln2r(z) = -x*cabs(z)**2 - 0.25*cabs(z)**4
  c        + (2*x+cabs(z)**2)**3 * r9ln2r(2*x+cabs(z)**2)
  c        + i * (carg(1+z) + (x-1)*y)
  c the imaginary part must be evaluated carefully as
  c     (atan(y/(1+x)) - y/(1+x)) + y/(1+x) - (1-x)*y
  c       = (y/(1+x))**3 * r9atn1(y/(1+x)) + x**2*y/(1+x)
  c
  c now we divide through by z**3 carefully.  write
  c     1/z**3 = (x-i*y)/cabs(z)**3 * (1/cabs(z)**3)
  c then   c9ln2r(z) = ((x-i*y)/cabs(z))**3 * (-x/cabs(z) - cabs(z)/4
  c        + 0.5*((2*x+cabs(z)**2)/cabs(z))**3 * r9ln2r(2*x+cabs(z)**2)
  c        + i*y/(cabs(z)*(1+x)) * ((x/cabs(z))**2 +
  c          + (y/(cabs(z)*(1+x)))**2 * r9atn1(y/(1+x)) ) )
  c
  c if we let  xz = x/cabs(z)  and  yz = y/cabs(z)  we may write
  c     c9ln2r(z) = (xz-i*yz)**3 * (-xz - cabs(z)/4
  c        + 0.5*(2*xz+cabs(z))**3 * r9ln2r(2*x+cabs(z)**2)
  c        + i*yz/(1+x) * (xz**2 + (yz/(1+x))**2*r9atn1(y/(1+x)) ))
