I don't know if there is a bug in Ginac hidden (Ginac people may contact me if they feel like hunting that issue down), but at least I was able to modify my patch so that it is not triggered. It could actually be that the problem was ultimately in my patch and not in Ginac: The segfault was a result of an endless series of gcd and lcm computations. Question: Is it a problem if (-sqrt(2)-1/5*I)^2 returns 1/25*(-5*sqrt(2) - I)^2, i.e., if the minus sign is not pulled out? If it is, then please explain in what part of the code the minus sign is supposed to be pulled out.
