#4719: Doctests report mysterious errors instead of ordinary failures
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  davidloeffler  |       Owner:  mabshoff  
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new       
 Priority:  major          |   Milestone:  sage-3.2.2
Component:  doctest        |    Keywords:  doctests  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The doctest module in 3.2.2.alpha0 seems to report *all* failed doctests
 as "A mysterious error (perphaps a memory error?) occurred, which may have
 crashed doctest." This occurs even when the failure is a very simple one:

 {{{
 def bad_docstring():
         r""" A function with a bogus docstring.

         EXAMPLES:
                 sage: 2
                 1
         """
         pass
 }}}

 Running "sage -t" on a file containing only the above code returns a
 "mysterious error", both on 32-bit SuSE (upgraded from 3.2.1) and on the
 sage.math binary.
