Comment (by cremona):

 OK, so I found 2 more trivial bugs in kodaira which only mattered in the
 tamagawa_exponent() function used (only) in S_integral_points and
 padic_elliptic_log functions.  Fixed, and tested that tamagawa_exponent()
 works on all curves in the database to 6000, with all bad primes for each.
 (Sorry, I have not checked that this covers all Kodaira types, but I think
 so.  The code even failed on 1 curve of conductor 15.)

 That revealed a but in pari_curve(), for example 903b3, where the default
 pari precision was not enough.  I now test for this (with try: ... except
 PariError) and double the precision on failure, continuing until success.
 The crazy thing is that I remember fixing that bug before, but it must
 have been while working on something which never got submitted (or is
 bitrotting on trac perhaps;)).

 Next I tested again the database curves of rank at least 2 with S=[2,3,5].
 No problems until 2175c3, and that just takes a long time.  So I think it
 is safe to proceed (famous last words, but it's my bedtime).  The
 *-fix3.patch contains the above-mentioned fixes and also adapts the
 doctests to agree with the output from the enhanced p-adic precision which
 I forgot earlier.
