Running Sage 4.3, coercion to the trivial vector space triggers a
SIGBUS as below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.3, Release Date: 2009-12-24                         |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: V = VectorSpace(GF(2),6)
sage: W = V
sage: quo = V/W
sage: quo(V.basis()[0])


------------------------------------------------------------
Unhandled SIGBUS: A bus error occured in SAGE.
This probably occured because a *compiled* component
of SAGE has a bug in it (typically accessing invalid memory)
or is not properly wrapped with _sig_on, _sig_off.
You might want to run SAGE under gdb with 'sage -gdb' to debug this.
SAGE will now terminate (sorry).

This is on my student's machine, which I do not have access to at the
moment:
I foolishly logged out without running 'uname -a' or the like.  I do
believe it is
a Mac.  My office and home machines are running earlier versions
(3.4.2) in which
the problem does not occur.   If it turns out to be hard to reproduce,
I am happy to
uncover the relevant data.
