#4782: construction of some relative quadratic extensions is SERIOUSLY FRICKIN's
FOO-bar'd

     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new

Component:  number theory  |    Keywords:

 Try this carefully with your finger on kill -9:
 {{{
 sage: NumberField(x^2 + 79*x - 60, 'a').extension(x^2 - 69*x + 38,'b')
 }}}

 On sage.math top shows pretty quickly over 6.9GB memory usage!
 {{{
 15392 was       25   0 8219m 6.9g  21m R  100 10.9   0:53.76 sage-ipython
 }}}

 The discriminants aren't very big:
 {{{
 sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
 sage: disc(x^2 + 79*x-60)
 6481
 sage: disc(x^2 - 69*x + 38)
 4609
 }}}

 Same behavior with Proof false:

 {{{
 sage: proof.all(False)
 sage: NumberField(x^2 + 79*x - 60, 'a').extension(x^2 - 69*x + 38,'b')
 ...hell....
 }}}

 Giving both polys at once (which maybe use polcompositum) works:
 {{{
 sage: NumberField([x^2 + 79*x-60, x^2 - 69*x + 38], 'a')

   ***   Warning: insufficient precision for fundamental units, not given.
 Number Field in a0 with defining polynomial x^2 + 79*x - 60 over its base
 field
 }}}

 Basically there is something very wrong with how we make relative
 fields... probably because of something very very wrong in the core of
 pari itself (and it's relative number fields).
