Can anyone explain to me why the following two
examples behave differently? Thanks.

Mathematica 2.2 for IBM RISC System/6000

 -- Terminal graphics initialized --

In[1]:= ComplexExpand[Log[1 / E^x]]

Out[1]= -x

In[2]:= ComplexExpand[Log[1 / (2 E^x)]]

             1
Out[2]= Log[----]
               x
            2 E
