In Mathematica 4.2, if s[n_]:= Sum[1/k^p,{k,1,n}], then the output for
Limit[s[n],n->Infinity] was Limit[HarmonicNumber[n,p],n->Infinity].
Under 5.0.1, the answer to Limit[s[n],n->Infinity] is given incorrectly
as Infinity for odd p and the actual numerical value for even p. Anyone
know why Mathematica now gives an incorrect result here for odd p. Thanks.
